L eWeS Town has a long tradition as a market town, historically supporting local traders from nearby coast,

country and surrounding villages.

As you will see from this guide, there is a wealth of wonderful independent shops here, offering much more than many other British high streets. Throughout the town, you will find everything from antique markets to a traditional chocolate shop, from contemporary homeware stores to stylish boutiques - and a colour store to mix your own paints.

While you’re visiting, you’ll find plenty of coffee shops, pubs and places to eat scattered across the town; some independents and some known chains, with too many to include in the guide.

We think it’s important to shop in the local High Street, and have produced this to support our independent traders and the producers, designers and craftspeople who supply them. Together they help to make this town a great place to visit, to shop and to stay.
