The medieval streets, old English churches and tiny twittens (an old Sussex word for alleyway) allow visitors a glimpse into the true essence of bygone Lewes. The townscape is dominated by the remains of a Norman Castle, and you'll also find the town house of Anne of Cleves here.
Enjoy a day at leisure in Eastbourne – home to pristine beaches, a Victorian Pier and cosmopolitan marina.
Alternatively, join our optional excursion passing the awe-inspiring cliffs of Beachy Head to reach Alfriston. Located on the banks of the Cuckmere River at the foot of the South Downs, explore the medieval twisting High Street, popular independent shops and friendly pubs and teashops!
