Rye - Medieval gem of the Cinque Ports. Perched on a hill, the medieval town of Rye is the sort of place you thought existed only in your imagination. Almost suspended in time, Rye’s atmosphere and enchanting cobbled streets draw visitors from around the world with their warm welcome.
Camber Sands –
2 ½ miles long and ½ mile wide at low tide, this Blue Ribbon awarded stretch of coastline is one of the most dramatic white sandy beaches on the South Coast.
This enormous expanse of sand is either the perfect bucket and spade destination or the kite surfers paradise. When the tide is out the beach seemingly goes on for miles, perfect for walking the dog, flying a kite or just going for a stroll. Even on an autumnal day the dunes are a great spot for an impromptu picnic and the perfect adventure play ground for kids large and small.
