Battery Hill Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the turn of the century, a local gun battery from Battery Hill is said to have regularly practiced firing. Fire was aimed at the sea; this was probably the origin of the name "Battery Hill". Centuries before William the Conqueror built a manor house in Fairlight, which he gifted to the French Countess of the EU, her husband was Hastings Castle's first agent.

Winchelsea Beach

Highlight • Natural

Winchelsea Beach is one of the few remaining relatively undeveloped parts of the south coast. Slightly inland, between the coast road and the sea, is this odd shingle landscape known as "The Ridges" - shingle and rugged land with a jumble of 1930s bungalows dotted along the dirt roads. The whole area is highly appreciated by those who love fresh air - flocks of birds and open and empty spaces. The beach is calm and never crowded with pebbles at high tide and flat sand at low tide.

Landgate Arch, Rye

Highlight • Monument

Rye is a stunning coastal town with charm in abundance and plenty of history to discover. One of the Cinque Ports, Rye played an important role in trade and defence on the south coast. Because of this, smugglers also used the harbour, especially the notorious Hawkhurst Gang who met at The Mermaid Inn in the town.

From wondering the steep-cobbled streets to visiting museums, or simply enjoying a coffee in the sunshine – Rye is a lovely place to explore.
