The Weald is an area surrounded by chalk hills called the North and South Downs. Lewes is on the South Downs. In the distance you can see the sandstone ridge of the High weald.
Closer to Lewes is the Low Weald. For many years the Weald was densely forested and the heavy clay of the Low Weald made it difficult to cross.
