Lewes

Lewes and the iconic Lewes Castle are situated in beautiful East Sussex, in the south east of England. The town is well known for its incredible architecture, spirituality, and stunning views of the South Downs National Park. It's the perfect place for a picture-perfect weekend away, as it is full of quaint cobblestone streets, gorgeous timber-framed buildings, and a bustling high street crammed with independently owned shops and cafe's. And of course no trip to Lewes would be complete without a visit to the castle. Sitting atop a hill overseeing the town and its surrounding countryside, Lewes Castle is steeped in history as it has been standing proudly since 1069 when it was built by William De Warenne, the Earl of Surrey. The castle grounds are open all year round and admission, which includes access to the vintage museum, is free. With its rich history, fantastic shops, and beautiful countryside, Lewes is a must-see destination for all travelers to East Sussex.
