About Little Lewes

Little Lewes is a blog about things to do with kids in and near Lewes, the county town of East Sussex.

It's here to provide ideas and inspiration about Lewes's own special little places, and about days out and unusual spots to visit within an hour of the town.

I am Kate, a freelance writer, content creator, and editor who once specialised in travel features and books. My feet have been planted firmly on the ground in Lewes since I had my two small sons. Little Lewes is also for me, as an ode to the town that constantly reminds me that I'm lucky to have chosen it as the place to raise my family.
