Alfriston ist ein Dorf in der Grafschaft East Sussex, England. Das Dorf liegt im Tal des Flusses Cuckmere, etwa sechs Kilometer von Seaford. Bei der Volkszählung im Jahr 2001 wurden 774 Einwohner gezählt.

Das Dorf wird von vielen Touristen besucht, weil es mit seinem intakten alten Ortskern ein typisches englisches Dorf darstellt. Am Rand des Dorfes in der Nähe des Flusses befindet sich die St. Andrew’s Church. Sie wurde um 1370 erbaut und wird auch „Cathedral of the Downs“ genannt.

  • Church of St. Andrew

  • The Star Inn

  • The George Inn

  • The Smugglers Inn

Im Jahr 1931 schrieb Eleanor Farjeon die populäre Hymne Morning Has Broken in Alfriston, angeblich über die Schönheit, die sie um sich sah in diesem Dorf. Das Lied wurde später von Cat Stevens gesungen.
