Newick is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England.
The churchyard has largely been left and a lot of archaic vegetation still exists including green winged orchid, ox-eye daisy, cuckoo flower and meadow fungi.
The land is very fertile and big Wealden farms, such as the Newick and Sutton Hall Estate, have large arable fields in the area and much of the woodland and hedgerows are now gone.
Along the north side verge of the A272 (TQ 424 213), west of Goldbridge, is famous for its purple-red betony display in July.
There is a line of huge sweet chestnut pollards there, some alive and others dead, and there is a quarried sandstone outcrop, now made into ponds and rock garden, with wild daffodils on the slope to the east.
The house sits at the head of a wooded gill tangled with rhododendrons, which descends to the Longford Stream.
There are wild daffodils on the grassy slope under the house, several old sweet chestnut trees, including a five span giant (TQ 422 195) and a good many oak by the Drive.
West of the Park as far as Ridgeland Lane is wet alder carr (TQ 417 193 with much golden saxifrage and marsh marigold (kingcups).
[5] To the south of the Longford Stream (TQ 423 189) is bosky with bracken, old holly brakes and oldish beeches.
Rotherfield (TQ 403 227) and Little Rotherfield Woods (TQ 409 224), just south of Sheffield Park Station, have heathy bilberry and cow wheat, devil's bit, tormentil and big wood ant nests.
Rotherfield Wood was heavily coniferised by the Forestry Commission, but its heathy character was not eliminated, and large areas of bilberry survive along the east–west ride, with rowan and hard fern.
The river is a good place to see kingfishers, leaping trout, banded and beautiful demoiselles and the banks are colourful with great yellowcress, hemp agrimony and unfortunately invasive himalayan balsam.
The streams and brooks running into the river are often wooded with sheets of bluebells, sometimes with wild garlic, and sometimes with swamp alders.
