Lower Dicker is a small hamlet in the district of Wealden, in East Sussex, England. It sits within the wooded, rolling landscape of the Weald, a patchwork of farmland, hedgerows and ancient woodland typical of the area; the place-name "Dicker" comes from Old English for a ditch or dyke, pointing to its long rural roots.
The locality is also of geological interest - a disused quarry at Lower Dicker exposes Lower Cretaceous strata and has yielded plant and fish fossils, drawing amateur geologists and naturalists. Today the settlement remains quiet and largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns; community life follows the familiar rhythms of rural Sussex, centred on local halls, pubs and parish events in neighbouring villages.
