Chalvington with Ripe is a small, rural civil parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex in south‑east England, set among rolling chalk downland and mixed farmland. The parish combines two small villages and a scatter of hamlets and lanes, and its landscape of hedged fields and lanes makes it popular with walkers exploring the nearby South Downs and river valleys.
Historically agricultural, the area retains medieval churches, timber‑framed cottages and other vernacular buildings, reflecting a long settlement history.
