Summer Strolling in Lewes

Lewes is the county town where the East Sussex County Council has its main offices. I have been to Lewes last winter but I did not stroll around the city, which local people recommend that it is a nice place to walk; therefore, I went there when I needed to take a break last month. 

It seems that summer has not reached peak heat in the UK. However, it was extremely hot when I visited Lewes around in the noon. 

Walking out of the station and along the right side, there are some antique stores in the streets, including a flea market central for meeting your nostalgic feelings. 

In the middle of the town, Lewes Castle stands on the high hill, showing that its political status in the history.

Several small lanes with shade trees and flowers connect to the Castle, providing the best channel when walking in the sunshine. 

Some private houses are built next to the castle.

Strooling up to the top of the hill, as the English poet, novelist: William Morris puts it,

‘You can see Lewes lying like a box of toys under a great amphitheatre of chalk hills [...] on the whole it is set down better than any town I have seen in England.’ 

Down to the way to return the station, I came across Southover Grange Gardens, a place with formal flower beds, modern sculpture and hidden nooks.

Therefore, I spent another hour to stay there to enjoy the wonderful exploration of Lewes.

 I believe that is one of the biggest attractions in the East Sussex.

LEWES是東薩塞克斯郡議主要辦事處的縣城。去年冬天我去了LEWES，但我沒有在城市漫步，當地人建議這是一個散步的好地方;因此，當我上個月需要休息時就去那裡。

似乎夏天在英國還沒有達到高峰。但是，當我中午到LEWES時很熱。走出車站，沿著右邊，街上有一些古董店，包括跳蚤市場，可以滿足您的懷舊情懷。

在城市中心，LEWES城堡站在高山上，代表其歷史上的政治地位。幾條有陰涼樹木和花朵的小道連接到城堡，在陽光下行走時提供最好的通道。

一些私人住宅建在城堡旁邊。步到山頂，誠如英國詩人小說家威廉·莫里斯（William Morris）所言，

“你可以看到LEWES粉筆山丘下依著小玩具就像個很好的露天劇場[...]，整體上比在英國所看到的任何一個城鎮都要好一點。”

回到車站的路上，我意外經過一個帶有正式花圃，現代雕塑和隱藏角落的花園。因此，我花了一個小時留在那裡享受LEWES的美妙探索。我相信這是東薩塞克斯郡最大的景點之一。
