Car journeys have declined in the UK over recent years, causing some to believe we have reached ‘Peak Car’. Piecing together the information from different maps and websites can be time consuming and really confusing. This is why we are pleased to see that Lewes Town Partnership (with the support of Lewes District Council and South Downs National Park) have produced a free map exploring the places and landscapes around Lewes on foot, by bike and public transport.

This area has a wonderful blend of scenery, historic houses and unspoilt villages, including places associated with the Bloomsbury Group. Although the whole route involves a full days walk, it can be divided into short sections by using bus and train, with several pubs and tea rooms to wait in until your bus is due. You can also visit the world famous Glyndebourne Opera House if it takes your fancy.

Travel by train to Lewes’ nearest stretch of coast, to see the atmospheric remains of a huge tide mill, Bishopstone’s Saxon Church, Seaford’s Unique museum and a walk over Seaford Head to get the classic view of Seven Sisters, one of England’s great coastal highlights. There is also an optional route along the Cuckmere valley for a return by bus.
As you can see, there is so much to do in the Lewes District without the need for a car. The leaflet is full of details of public transport links, walking routes and ideas for lots of local days out. Leave the car at home, relax enjoy the views and discover the best our district has to offer.
You can pick one up at the Lewes Visitor Information Centre in Lewes Town.
