Setting Description:

Lewes is a quirkily historic market town near England’s south coast and an hour by train from London. The Greenwich meridian runs through the town—there’s even a pub named after it—but the great appeal of Lewes lies in its location. The town is wedged into a scenic gap in the South Downs and dozens of spectacular walks depart from its environs. All this plus the city of Brighton, with its beaches, shops, nightlife, and iconic Royal Pavilion, is only a short bus or train ride away.
