Lewes House gardens

This large traditional town garden is surrounded by just one of the many high brick flint walls that add to the attraction of Lewes Town Centre.

Much of the remaining garden has been unchanged since being mapped by William Figg (Cartographer) in 1830.

The manicured lawn guides one's eye to a riot of colour, courtesy of the seasonal bedding displays centred on the Sun dial bed.

The long borders running parallel to the lawn compete for ones attention, with an interesting and colourful mix of shrubs and herbaceous plants.

The inclusion of the mature wall climbers under planted with various spring bulbs give an attractive backdrop to this secluded, quiet haven from the bustling Lewes town centre.

Lewes House is a regular venue for art festivals with many of the exhibits being placed in and around the garden.
