Quirky Lewes walk
Lewes House, 32 High Street, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7 2LX
Viva Lewes, a local community magazine, ran for 15 years. Former editor, Emma Chaplin, was often asked if she'd run out of things to write about the town - and the answer was always 'never'. Lewes has an endless variety of interesting stories of people and places running through its veins, or indeed twittens. For this walk, Emma draws upon her years of learning fascinating, sometimes weird and wonderful, tales of Lewes and its inhabitants. This walk will focus on the on the upper High Street and the western part of the town. Come along and learn about some of Lewes's hidden treasures and fascinating characters from its long history. There will be some rough ground and hills involved so sensible footwear advised.
