Ringmer is a sought-after place to live in for many reasons. It is just outside the county town of Lewes but offers not only much more space than tends to be available in the town but also the many benefits of village life. The cricket club play on The Green most weekends in summer and there are many other active clubs and societies, including for bowls and croquet. There is a library and a doctors’ surgery with parking. The parade of shops includes a butcher, a baker, a cafe, a fish and chip shop, and a general store with a post office. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and the world famous Glyndebourne opera house is just over the hill towards Glynde. Lewes is only a few minutes away by car and offers bars and cafes, a wide range of shops including Waitrose and Tesco, and a mainline railway station with regular services to London Victoria (about 1 hour) and Brighton (about 20 minutes).
