Combe Haven is a 156.1 hectare (385.7 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, located in East Sussex, England, around 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) west of Hastings. The site was notified in 1985 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
The site consists of mainly alluvial meadows and the largest reed bed in the county, creating a very important site for a variety of fauna.
A new road from Bexhill to Hastings (under construction as at September 2013) will skirt the northern edge of Combe Haven.[1] There are protests against the road's impact on Combe Haven.[2][3]
