About Lewes

LEWES: The picturesque town of Lewes, dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle, contains medieval streets, narrow twittens and interesting architecture - including the handsome, timbered House given by Henry VIII to his fourth wife, Ann of Cleves. It still retains many small, specialist shops (antiques, art, crafts, books, jewellers and silversmiths, food, Harvey's Brewery shop etc). There is a good range of restaurants and pubs - some stocking the local ales brewed in the town. Amenities include golf, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and leisure centre, gardens, riverside and downland walks, museum, nature reserves, and horse-riding.

Lewes is an excellent centre from which to tour the Sussex Weald, the South Downs and Heritage coastal areas, and is convenient for Glyndebourne, Charleston Farmhouse, Monk's House (Rodmell), the South Downs Way, Brighton, Eastbourne, and the Universities of Sussex and Brighton. Gatwick Airport is only 30 minutes by car, and there are frequent trains to London, Brighton, Seaford, the port of Newhaven (8 miles) and Eastbourne. There are a number of beautiful National Trust properties and gardens within easy reach, and delightful villages to visit.
