Nestled at the foot of Mount Caburn These are in a group of eight flint and brick cottages ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. They are close to the historic town of Lewes and within easy reach of Glyndebourne. One of the world's best-known opera houses, is approx. 2 miles from us.
Local shops: In Glynde village there is a very good local shop with a post office (approx. 1 mile). The nearest supermarkets are Waitrose and Tesco in Lewes (approx. 2 miles).
Places of interest: Lewes is a historic market town with many interesting buildings including a Norman castle and keep, a museum, Anne of Cleves' house and Southover Grange gardens. Within easy reach of the cottages are other lovely places to visit such as Charleston (home of Vanessa Bell and the Bloomsbury group), Batemans (home of Rudyard Kipling), Pevensey Castle and the Royal Pavilion (an exotic oriental palace built for the Prince Regent - later George IV). The Lanes in Brighton are narrow pedestrianised streets where many interesting shops can be found.
Lewes: This is our nearest town with a varied choice of shops including some chain shops and also the local brewery (Harveys). It also has a leisure centre and a golf club on which non-members can play. Mount Caburn and Firle Beacon are popular among paragliders, hangliders and walkers. Once at the top of these high points on the South Downs you can experience breathtaking views of the spectacular scenery.
