Rottingdean holds remarkable artistic and literary connections. Sir Edward Burne‑Jones lived here from 1880 to 1898; his nephew by marriage Rudyard Kipling later resided nearby at The Elms and wrote during his years here — the beautiful gardens opposite now bear his name.
St Margaret’s Church across The Green also features stunning stained glass designed by Burne‑Jones.
Stroll down to Rottingdean Beach and the Undercliff Walk, or head inland toward Beacon Hill and the South Downs for glorious countryside views.
Getting Around:
Rottingdean is wonderfully walkable; beach, shops, cafés, pubs and South Downs walks all nearby.

The scenic Undercliff Walk also offers a traffic‑free route along the coast toward Brighto Marina and the city.
