Alternatively, from Lewes station, it’s about a 10-minute walk to Waitrose on the high street, where you can pick up the number 28 bus directly outside. The bus journey takes around 25 minutes.
The number 28 bus runs half-hourly between Brighton, Lewes and Eastbourne, stopping at Laughton Manor (the nearest stop to Laughton Lodge). See timetable.
From the bus stop, it’s a 10-15 minute walk to Shawfield. Walk through the large gates and follow the road uphill until the road ends and you reach a footpath through a small gate. Go through the gate and turn left. Follow the path until it ends on an access road. Turn right and follow the road past three large brick buildings until you reach Shawfield. If you’re arriving after dark, you’ll need a torch — some of the paths are unlit. See map below for walking directions.
