Website

Lewes Castle is a 950-year-old Norman fortress where families can climb the keep for panoramic views and explore the adjoining Museum of Sussex Archaeology. Visitors can also view historical artefacts, watch a film about the town, and enjoy picnics in the castle gardens.

What families say

Castle offers climbing, dress-up activities and tower exploration, though reviews suggest the structure itself is sparse; suitable for families but not specifically highlighted as child-focused.
