Horseback riding offers a magnificent glimpse of a countryside
rich in history The castles of Battle, Bodiham and Camber are
within easy reach as are the delights of the white sandy beaches
at Camber Sands. Hire bicycles for a more relaxed tour of the
historic town.
Farthing
House is in the historic centre of the town, only steps away from
Rye Castle, old canons, the Norman church with a spire worth climbing
for the magnificent view.
A
town with a rich cultural legacy, Henry James and E.F. Benson
lived and wrote here, so it is hardly surprising that there are
endless bookshops, galleries, potters and antique shops, but for
the practically minded there exquisite bakeries and delis, traditional
butchers and health food stores For those who prefer to be pampered,
there are dozens tea shops, pubs and fine restaurants.
Rye is an ideal spot for families with children of all ages. Kite
surfing, sand castles, swimming and sailing in nearby Camber Sands.
Rye is close to Camber Castle, Bodiham Castle, Dungeoness , Battle
Abbey and the site of the Battle of Hastings, the spendour of
the gardens at Great Ditchley and Sissinghurst, the coastal resorts
of Eastbourne, Hastings (with its great pier, pebble beaches,
fishermen’s huts and large aquarium), Brighton and Broadstairs,
river trips, endless walks, children’s farms, Wildwood (dubbed
by the BBC the best British wildlife centre) and numberless attractions.
Quite apart from the best fish and chips in England, Rye is an
absolutely ideal centre from which to explore East Sussex and
South Kent.
