Ringmer Village is a sought after place to live for many reasons. It is just outside the County Town of Lewes and offers far more space for families to live and work without the cramped feel sometimes experienced in Town. It is the perfect balance between work and home life. The cricket club play on The Green most weekends in the Summer months and the newly developed County League Football Club are now at their new home during the Winter. There is a great bowls club, Library, Surgery and a vibrant parade of shops with a Bakers, Butchers, General Store, Cafe, Fish and Chip shop whom serve the local community. Lewes has a wider range of shops, bars and cafes as well as Waitrose and Tesco and a small retail industrial estate. There is a mainline railway station with regular services to London Victoria in about 1 hour away, with Brighton being about 20 minute away.
