Lewes in Sussex is a highly attractive small town with very elegant architecture,interesting small shops,a fascinating riverside brewery, and is surrounded by delightful countryside.

Advantages: An unfortgettable Experience Disadvantages: Very crowded
It?s nearly November 5th, Guy Fawkes? night. For Lewes it is Bonfire Night.
Lewes is the county town of East Sussex, a small market town nestled in the shadow of the South Downs. It could well fit your image of a quiet well-healed liberal country town, with its fair share of eccentrics ? unless of course you have experienced the Lewes Bonfire night.

This event coupled with Guy Fawkes? attempt to re ...

The CrownInn Harvester, 126 Bath Rd, Longwell Green, Bristol. 0117 9322849
The CrownInn is one of a chain of Harvesters in the city, including Snuff Mills in Frenchay, Lamb and Flag in Cribbs Causeway and the Red Lion in Westbury, but it was decided on the CrownInn because the Snuff Mills has a fishpond in the middle of it and the kids get more interested in the fish!
So off we go at 6.30pm on a sunny Sunday, the place was very quiet, so we were surprised when the waitress said she was rushed off her feet. You see they also have a garden where you can also order your meals, I'm sure the fact that the indoors is now completely non-smoking assisted!
They have an rapidy shrinking and unimaginative menu, the starters cost from £2.95 and include soup, the immortal prawn cocktail, chicken wings and more. Harvesters are known ...
