The town of Rye has plenty to keep you interested but just outside
Rye you can find a range of sporting activities: watersports, cycling,
walking, sailing, gardens. If you prefer something less
energetic try a cookery course using local seasonal produce, or take a
tour of the Romney Marsh Churches. If you prefer to stay in Rye -
the museum, ghost walks, shops, town model and the many cafes will keep
you busy. Follow that with a pamper session at the Rye Retreat
before choosing a restaurant for supper.
