Rye Harbour

Rye Harbour, a charming village nestled on the East Sussex coast near the River Rother estuary, offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. Situated just a few miles downstream from the historic town of Rye, Rye Harbour boasts a bustling harbor along the River Rother. This harbor caters to yachtsmen, a local fishing fleet, and even some commercial shipping.

Nature lovers won't want to miss the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, a haven for wildlife enthusiasts with stunning coastal views, birdwatching hides, and a network of footpaths to explore. History buffs can delve into the past at Lamb House, once the residence of author Henry James who penned several novels here. For panoramic vistas, climb the tower of St. Mary's Church, home to the oldest working church turret clock in the UK. The nearby Rye Bay offers a vast expanse of unspoiled coastline stretching across 91 square kilometers, with Camber Sands and its golden sand dunes as a popular highlight.
