Description:
In the heart of rural Sussex nestles the beautiful county town of Lewes, with its mixture of intriguing landscape and unusual architecture.
Quaint medieval streets, old English churches and tiny twittens (Sussex word for alleyway) offer the visitor a glimpse back into the essence of bygone Lewes. Surrounded by chalk cliffs, the townscape is dominated by remains of a Norman castle and is also home to the striking townhouse of Anne of Cleves (4th wife of King Henry Vlll).
Discover the smaller specialist and independent retailers and on certain days, the subtle aromas wafting from Harvey’s Brewery will attract any visitor to Cliffe High Street. Bookshops, boutiques and antique centres sit alongside individual craft workshops, and the restaurants, cafes, and pubs offer delicious choices with real emphasis on local produce.
