Reviews | The Lodge at Historic Lewes | Delaware

Stroll through Downtown Lewes’ iconic Second Street on a beautiful summer afternoon ☀️ | Visit Lewes

Historic Lewes Delaware is such a charming coastal town that is worth visiting! 🌊 3 Things We Love About Lewes: 1. Shopping on 2nd Street (the Main Street downtown) has lovely shops and impressive restaurants, like one of our favorites: Lewes Oyster House 2. Historic Lewes is super interesting! Historic Lewes campus at the end of 2nd Street, The Cannonball house, and Zwaanandael Museum all are great ways to learn about the early history of the town and there are free events like “First Fridays”

Lewes Castle was built soon after the Norman Conquest by William de Warenne, one of William the Conqueror’s closest allies from the Battle of Hastings. Begun around 1069, it was the second Norman stronghold in Sussex after Hastings Castle — chosen for its commanding ridge above the River Ouse and the route to London. Its twin mottes and flint walls still dominate the landscape nearly a thousand years later, a reminder of how swiftly England changed after 1066. #LewesCastle #SussexHistory #Norman
