We love windmills.
We often visit the windmill in Wimbledon Common, it is close by and fascinating inside and out!
This is a similar looking windmill. Wooden, white smock windmill... but with one big difference!!!
It is a bed and Breakfast!
Rye Windmill B&B is rated 4 stars by the AA and is also fully licensed, and we look forward to staying here on our next visit.
This is a delightful area to ramble...
Here there is the famous '1066 walk', which starts on the opposite bank from The Windmill B&B, and continues for 30 scenic miles to Pevensey.
There is a fine network of footpaths which lead you to the historic Camber Castle and the pretty shingle beach at Winchelsea.
This is Martello Tower No. 28. There were over 100 of these towers built along the coast in the late 1700s and early 1800s to defend against a French, Napoleonic invasion, this is one of them and it is situated at Frenchman's Beach Holiday Village.
There's a free car park and walkers and hikers are permitted to use the Tea Rooms at the holiday park here.
Walking through the town of Rye is a nice thing to do. The town has many medieval landmarks.
In my travelogues you'll find the walk I took in Rye, completely described from A to Z.
Go further to my travelogues.
Back in the 14th century, Rye was a fortified town, and at the time there were four gates built to allow access inside the walls - the Landgate, Strandgate, Baddings Gate and the Postern Gate. Of the four gates, only the Landgate remains today.
Located in the north-eastern corner of town, the Landgate has two towers and a chamber above the arch. There is also a clock on either side in case you forgot your watch ; ) Originally it also had gates, a portcullis and a drawbridge.
