Historic Town and Castle Walking Tour - Lewes, UK Travel Vlog

Follow us as we walk around the historic and beautiful town of Lewes in East Sussex. It’s a beautiful place to visit. There is so much history here dating over 1000 years.

We started the day by visiting the old Southover Grange gardens. They are beautiful in the summer and a great free place to visit. It is maintained by the local council and has a huge variety of trees and plants.
Next we wen to see the Anne of Cleves house, it has so much history. Dating all the way back to King Henry the 8th.

Then we went to see the ancient Lewes Priory. It was the first Cluniac priory of its kind in the UK, having been destroyed by wars, royalty changes, and other amazing history it now sits as a ruin, an impressive one however.

We then visited Lewes FC and the mound next door, it is said to date back to when the monks from the priory panned for salt and dug up the soil turning it into the mound it is today.

LEwes Castle was the highlight of the day, used as a fortress by the King in the Battle of Lewes. The castle dates back over 1000 years, if you love history this is the place for you.

We then peaked over to the old fifteenth century bookshop as it is a beautiful building atop the famous ‘Keere street’.

Lastly we finished by eating a delicious full English breakfast at trading post coffee, what more could you want then sausage, beans, bacon, toast, and eggs.

We even see Manchester United play football.
