Lewes is one of those places that wears its history with a kind of quiet pride. It's the county town of East Sussex and sits tucked into the South Downs, just far enough inland to escape the seaside crowds but close enough to enjoy the coastal perks. It's got a proper sense of character—narrow streets, old buildings, independent shops, and more than a touch of eccentric charm.

The town's history goes back to Saxon times, and it's been an important place ever since. The Normans built a massive castle here after 1066, and the Battle of Lewes in 1264 was a turning point in the struggle for English democracy. Later, during the Marian persecutions, the town saw Protestant martyrs burned at the stake—commemorated to this day by the famous Lewes Bonfire Night, which is like nothing else in the country. You get the feeling the past is never far away here.

Wandering around Lewes, there's plenty to get stuck into. You've got the castle, of course, and the lovely Anne of Cleves House. The high street is peppered with quirky shops, proper pubs, and independent cafés. Lewes is known for its antique shops, bookshops, and vintage finds, and the food scene's no slouch either. There's also a brewery right in the centre, making this a bit of a pilgrimage for ale lovers. Parks, river walks, and a swimming pool round things out.

Beyond Lewes, East Sussex is full of gems. Brighton's just down the road with its beach, pier, and nightlife. The South Downs National Park is on the doorstep—perfect for walking, cycling or just escaping for a bit of peace and quiet. Places like Alfriston, Glynde and Firle are all within striking distance and packed with their own stories, charm and scenery. Then there's Charleston Farmhouse and Glyndebourne, both a draw for arts and culture lovers.

Getting to Lewes is straightforward. The town's on the main train line between Brighton and London, with regular services that make it easy for commuters and visitors alike. Roads are decent, too—just off the A27 and not far from the A23, which links to the M23. For air travel, Gatwick is the closest major airport, around 45 minutes away by car or direct train. Buses serve the surrounding towns and villages well enough for a day out or local jaunt.

East Sussex has a rhythm all its own. It's coastal and rural, arty and grounded, historical but never stuck in the past. From dramatic cliffs to leafy woodlands, it's a county of contrasts. There's a bit of quiet resistance in the air, a do-your-own-thing spirit you feel in its towns and tucked-away villages. It's not trying to be flashy—it just gets on with being brilliant in its own way.
