Seaford Old Brickfield

All evidence of such has long gone but we see today, a mixture of coastal and terrestrial habitats, surrounded on two sides by housing, Marine Parade and the sea to the south, and the Seaford Railway line to the north.

Although small, it contains a number of nationally rare habitats and species including vegetated shingle, and remnant saltmarsh.

The dominant habitat is improved grassland, which provide home to a good slow worm population, small mammals and a variety of insects, which in turn support birds, including Kestrels.

The site was saved from housing development in 1997 following a public enquiry, and now has a community group devoted to the protection of the site, the Friends of Seaford Brickfields.

There are a network of footpaths on around the site, some of which are designated ' rights of way' and are maintained as part of our management programme.
