The name Ovingdean comes from Old English meaning ‘The Valley of the People’. The village was absorbed into the city of Brighton & Hove in 1928.

There are a few shops and services within Ovingdean which is all part of the location’s semi rural charm and adds to its peaceful character. However it is less than a mile from Brighton where one will find a full range of shops, services and employment.
