Route Description for Lewes and Kingston Circular Walk
The Lewes and Kingston Circular Walk is a beautiful setting that takes you to the Ashcombe Windmill and the Blackcap Bronze Age Burial Site. Starting at the Lewes railway station, continue on to Station Road and head towards Priory Street. After this, make your way to Southover High Street. You will then go along Juggs Road, where you will find the Ashcombe Windmill. Explore this area, and following the path, you will arrive at the top of a hill. From here, walk along the South Downs Way and go through the gate. You will then arrive at Castle Hill Nature Reserve, and you will hear a faint water tapping noise in the distance, which will mean you are getting close to Blackcap.
