Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Imposing Norman castle in the very centre of historic Lewes, begun by William de Warenne shortly after the Norman invasion in 1066. Lewes Castle was not completed until three centuries had passed. Unusually, there are two baileys surrounding a single motte. The castle is composed of a shell keep with octagonal corner towers, and a striking 14th century barbican. Barbican House is home to an enjoyable museum telling the tale oof the castle and the history of Lewes.
