Fletching is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, set amid the rolling, wooded landscape of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish retains a classic Sussex feel with lanes, scattered farms and pockets of ancient woodland, offering a quiet base well placed for nearby towns and rail links without losing its countryside character.
Historically the parish is best known for the nearby hamlet of Piltdown, where the early 20th‑century Piltdown Man hoax captured scientific and public attention. Today the local economy remains largely agricultural with a mix of small businesses and residents who commute to larger centres; the village itself maintains an active community life centred on its historic buildings, parish church and occasional local events.
