Stunning Walks 
Photo Clive Sawyer - Camber Sands
Explore the beautiful Brede Valley -  wonderfully tranquil area, an ancient landscape full of history and rich in wildlife. The many footpaths and narrow winding lanes offer endless scope for exploration.

Coastal & Rural Rye

Visit Rye Harbour, Camber Sands, Winchelsea Beach

Rye Town is within easy reach of the different coastlines of Rye Harbour and  Winchelsea Beach with their shingle beaches, flocks of birds and uncrowded spaces.  For those looking for sandy beaches, Camber Sands offers miles of sand dunes protected by marram grass. Artists and photographers are drawn to the remote landscapes and dramatic light of the local coastal and rural areas.

Walk the Royal Military Canal
 

Le Canal Militaire Royal was built as part of the defences against Napoleonic invasion in the early nineteenth century. Although never used for its intended defensive purpose, it is critical for drainage and irrigation on the Romney Marsh. It is a wonderful place for relaxing, walking or cycling, as well as a haven for wildlife.

Dungeness Nature Reserve

  

If you haven't been to Dungeness, nothing can quite prepare you for this landscape - mile after mile of shingle, wild and weird! Dungeness's position, jutting into the English Channel, makes it ideally placed to watch for migrant birds arriving or departing. See map

Ancient Winchelsea

Winchelsea has spectacular views to the sea and inland across the Brede Valley.  Founded in the 13th century by Edward 1 as a port, it replaced Old Winchelsea which was lost to the rising sea. See Winchelsea website
