about lewes |
The county town and administrative centre of East Sussex nestles against the glorious backdrop of the South Downs. Initially a Saxon village, the Normans built a castle to protect the town after the Norman Conquest and the town has thrived ever since. Today Lewes attracts visitors who come for the wide range of independent shops that can be found along the entire length of the High Street, and tucked away down Sussex twittens. Visitors to the town's many delis, cafes and restaurants will find a cuisine to suit them and those wishing to stay can choose from comfy family run B&B’s to elegant 4-star hotels. Lewes celebrates Bonfire Night in a very big way, with street parades, huge firework displays and revelry that lasts long into the night. The towns population of 17,000 rises to over 50,000 for that one night! Visit the Tourist Information Centre in the High Street to pick up the latest information. | ||
