The district of Lewes is our special part of the South East of England, with so many wonderful things to see and do. We are surrounded by the South Downs National Park, close to miles of unspoilt coastline, our towns and villages are full of history, culture and a spirit of independence.
So if you are a looking for a day trip or a summer break, we offer you the best of both worlds, every day and all year round. If you are a foodie, a family, an outdoors adventurer or a culture vulture, we know you’ll love our district as much as we do.
