Lewes rises above the River Ouse beneath a Norman castle, its steep streets lined with flint-and-timber houses that hint at centuries as East Sussex's county town. Mornings here favour a slow pace, best spent among the town's cafes before browsing antique shops on the high street. When it's time to settle in, a handful of hotels offer a comfortable base, while the town's restaurants serve up hearty fare drawing on the surrounding Sussex countryside.
