Hello from the sticker at A cosy pub walk: the High Street and the castle. Here's what we know, for you and your dog. More dog-friendly places nearby
Cleo & Bonnie haven't logged this one yet. The line is ours, drawn on OpenStreetMap streets between the pubs. The pubs are ones we've checked for dogs, but nobody from the project has walked this route yet.
By train
Up to two dogs travel free with each passenger. Dogs stay on a lead on the train and at the station, and never on the seats.
National Rail Conditions of Travel, condition 24 (valid from 30 July 2026); National Rail's station pages.
Parking
Lewes station's car park (APCOA, Station Street, BN7 2UP): £4.00 for an hour, £9.40 all day on weekdays, £8.30 all day at weekends, Sundays included, and £2.50 from 5pm, each plus a 15p fee. Pay with the APCOA Connect app (code 1207) or the QR code on the signs. The entrance takes vehicles up to 2 m high. From APCOA, Lewes station, undated, read 2 Oct 2026.
The council has car parks across the town too. We couldn't read their prices, so check the council's own list before you go. From Lewes District Council, 2026 car park charges (PDF), 2026, read 2 Oct 2026.
The stiles
A street route, so none are expected, but this line has not been walked for the site and there is no count.
The ground
Streets and pavements. On the map's elevation data the line climbs about 70 metres in all, mostly the High Street and Station Street. Our sheet says the Royal Oak, Rights of Man, the Brewers Arms and the Lewes Arms are not step-free. Kerbs, cobbles, narrow pavements and crossings have not been checked on the ground.
For dogs
Eight pubs we've checked for dogs, each linked with what we know. The Pelham Arms says dogs are welcome anywhere in the pub. You don't need all of them, and nothing here asks you to drink: pick two or three, and stay as long as the dog likes. At the White Hart dogs stay on the floor, not on the furniture. The Lewes Arms says dogs inside and out. Check on the day: rules and opening times change. The district's fouling order applies: pick up on land open to the public.

The route
Start Lewes station
The line is on our map. It starts at the station, takes in the pubs in order, turns at the Black Horse on Western Road and comes back along the High Street. The distance is the length of that line, and the time is an estimate for an easy stroll, without the stops. Neither has been paced out on the ground.
