Rye and Camber

Cannon at Rye

On the Eastern side of 1066 Country is the historic port town of Rye.

This enchanting, medieval town boasts a maze of cobbled streets, fascinating buildings, wonderful shopping, antiquarian bookshops, potteries, antiques, art galleries and Rye Castle Museum. The Rye Heritage Centre hosts the Town Model and Sound and Light Show and unique exhibitions of working old pier slot-machines.

All of these attractions make Rye a popular visitor destination. With links to its maritime past, Rye Harbour still operates as a port for small yachts and boats.

Rye Church and Surroundings

Served by the local fishermen in the town's small fishing fleet, Rye boasts a delightful array of sea food restaurants. It also caters for other gastronomic tastes: Rye is sure to satisfy every palette.

The neighbouring holiday village of Camber is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It has a picturesque sandy beach, with unspoilt coastline and sand dunes as far as the eye can see. Attractions such as sand yachting often take place when the tides are low. It is these expanses of sand at Camber that make the beach attractive to couples and families alike.
