Dist:0.2km<br/>Viewed from Went Way. The village's recreation ground is also home to East Dean and Friston Cricket Club whose second XI were playing a match when this image was taken as according to their fixtures the first team was away playing in Brighton. The road to Birling Gap is beyond with Cornish Farm in the distance on the right.
