Saltdean is a coastal village largely within the city of Brighton and Hove, with part (East Saltdean) located in Lewes district. Saltdean is approximately east of central Brighton, west of Newhaven, and south of Lewes. It is bordered by farmland and the South Downs National Park.

==History== thumb|Shops on Longridge Avenue Saltdean was open farmland, originally a part of the village of Rottingdean, and almost uninhabited until 1924 when land was sold off for speculative housing and property development. Some of this was promoted by entrepreneur Charles W. Neville, who had set up a company to develop the site (he also eventually built nearby towns Peacehaven and parts of Rottingdean).
