The locally well-known Lewes Beacon stands on top of Mount Harry and commands beautiful views over the town and surrounding countryside.
Historically, the beacon was used as a signal point during times of conflict and also as a place for locals to gather and celebrate. Today, the landmark is a popular spot for walkers and anyone looking for a refreshing nature fix.

Mount Harry rises to a height of 627 feet (191 m) and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the South Downs and the Ouse Valley.
It's characterised by the tall brazier, known as Lewes Beacon. This was erected in 2002 as a reminder of the beacon that stood here from the 16th century to warn of danger.
