Would like to go conker and acorn collecting this weekend, where is the best place to find them in or near Lewes?
Obviously under a Horse Chestnut or an Oak tree but where might I find these?
Thanks

The Pells was always good when I was a kid but that was before the 1987 hurricane so no idea what it's like now.

The tree outside Waitrose is dropping conkers all over the punters just now and there's quite a few dropping from the trees in Paddock Lane and The Avenue, Park Road and Prince Edwards. (watch out for doggers though, alledgedly). There are also some still to be had at the Pells too. I was surprised at how quickly they have fallen this year so there may not be many left in town. As for oaks, our soil conditions are not great for their well being but there are some oaks at the Pells and there's an evergreen oak with acorns on outside River Lodge surgery. If you have transport, I'd head for Wilderness Wood in Hadlow Down which is very child friendly, has a cafe/tea shop, nice loos and great staff or Abbot's Wood near Arlington.

Speaking of William the Conkerer I see Lewes Peasant has got a range of 'funny' cards in the party shop half way up school hill

Landport woods next to Buckwell Court has around 4 trees - lots of conkers along the path

There used to be a spreading chestnut tree next to my forge but it's gone and the forge converted to luxury housing for DFLs.

The woody area opposite Neville park used to be good

Fire Place is good or the St John Sub Castro graveyard has a decent conked tree

And there's one or two trees in front of Waitrose too
