Tips

So Sussex

July 19, 2021

Lewes Brooks is a Site Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), encompassing 330 hectares of the River Ouse floodplain south of Lewes. Here, flood plains and water-filled ditches are home to rare amphibians, snails, flies, moths and beetles, and this is the only known site for the rare Lewes water beetle. Wet meadows provide nesting sites and feeding stations for a variety of birds. The RSPB carefully manage water levels here to create breeding and wintering habitats for the birds, including the Little Egret, the bird the Egrets Way cycle route from Lewes to Newhaven is named after.
