Lewes Castle Lewes Castle No Data

Description


The fist parts of the castle were created shortly after the Norman invasion of 1066, with the castle becoming something of a rarity for having two mottes. Today only one of the mottes survives with partial ruins of the keep on the top - though parts of one of the towers remains which allows you to climb to the top for excellent views. Information boards on the different floors tells the history of the castle and the town. The Barbican gatehouse also remains and once again you can climb to the top of that for views of the castle and surrounding town.
