Salehurst is a village in the Rother district of East Sussex, England, within the civil parish of Salehurst and Robertsbridge. It lies immediately to the north-east of the larger village of Robertsbridge, on a minor road; it is approximately north of Hastings, just east of the A21 road.
In historical terms, Salehurst is much older than its neighbour; before the bridge over the River Rother was built, it already existed, and it is named in the Domesday Book of 1086. At the time, the river crossing was by ford or ferry, but in the 12th century, a newly established order of Cistercian monks constructed the bridge, and the two settlements of Robertsbridge and Northbridge Street came into being; eventually, since the main road now bypassed the village, they became much more important than Salehurst.
