Berwick (pronounced /ˈbɜːrwɪk/ BUR-wik[3] or, more recently, /ˈbɛrɪk/ BERR-ik) is a village and civil parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex in England.
The village lies immediately to the south of the A27 road between Lewes and Polegate, about three miles (4.8 km) west of the latter.
Part of the United Benefice of Arlington, Berwick, Selmeston-with-Alciston and Wilmington, the church dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, is a Grade 1 listed building.
[6] Built on what may be a pre-Christian sacred site, the church dates back at least to the 12th century, although the Saxon frontage appears to be earlier.
A common walk in this area is to start at the village car park, walk down the road known as The Village, past Church Farm and the tyre heap, and on to the dilapidated New Barn, just a few years ago an important store for hay from the surrounding fields, but now falling apart.
This building is made of attractive red-rusting iron and next to it is an old stone farmhouse - currently unused and overgrown with plants, but in good condition, it is home to wood warblers in the summer and grey wagtails often feed by it.
Walks can continue from the New Barn up along a shaded avenue to a large hedgerow full of blackberries in autumn.
