About Alfriston
This is one of the most beautiful villages in the Downs. The large church in the village is often called "the Cathedral of the Downs". The village is also home to the first property of the National trust, the Clergy House. It is said that the site of the Star Inn is where Alfred burnt his cakes. Alfred gave the area to one of his warlords, Aelfric, as a fief in rewards for battle valour, and visited the area as the English fleet moored at Westdean. Pubs, restaurants, cafes, and hotels.
