If cobbles streets and quaint bookshops and exquisite architecture and character is your thing, then Rye is the place to visit.
We first visited this part of England on my hubby's birthday, we did Rye and then went on to Bodiam Castle.
Jen (Craic) loves Mapp and Lucia... Rye has a history of being home to famous writers and artists .... Henry James and E F Benson amongst them ... (Paul McCartney currently has a home here).
This plaque is placed on a look out point just at the end of the High Street.
There are quite a few stunning golf courses of all sizes (and to suit all pockets!) within easy reach of the walled town of Rye.
A few of these are Hemstead Forest, Littlestone, Chart Hills and Cooden Beach.
Rye Harbour is a strange place - bleak and desolate - but teeming with an abundance of bird species and other wildlife. The twitchers come here to look and wait and see what they can spot and its not too difficult to see some rare visitors - but dont forget your binoculars! The birds are protected by electric fences which surround the delicate shingle habitat so that foxes and badgers can't eat them and their chicks and eggs and do be careful where you walk - the plants around this area are also very delicate but seem to thrive in this harsh environment.
There's loads of information at the Lime Kiln Cottage Info centre where you can find out about the history of this place from Napoleonic times through to WWII and now in the 21st century, its battles with sea defences and flooding.
This main photo and photo 4 show Found Art pieces on the beach. Photo 4 is a piece made from salvaged timber which had been washed up on the beach. This one is a piece made by local artists - originally terracotta pieces were strung from the frame but these gradually broke during high winds and now it seems anyone can hang anything on it that they find on the beach.
The gun garden is part of the Ypres Tower museum but both the garden and the museum can be visited separately - I didn't buy a ticket for the garden as the gate was open and other people just seemed to be wandering in and out - maybe in the winter its free but anyway, there are lots of old cannons and stunning views over Romney Marsh.
