    Lewes Castle is a medieval fortress originally known as Bray Castle.

    Positioned strategically, it commands a prominent location, overseeing the gap in the South Downs shaped by the River Ouse and surrounded by the towns of Lewes and Cliffe.

    The castle is perched on a man-made mound located just north of Lewes' high street, crafted from locally sourced limestone and flint blocks.
