Rich in wildlife and offering views of the famous White Cliffs this local nature reserve is definitely worth a visit for the scenery and walks (some challenging!) . 3 martello towers, pitch & putt golf course. The area is a great site for rockpooling when the tide is out – and is also one of the best sites in southern England to go fossil hunting.

A quirky place to visit, the ossuary (crypt) has the largest and best-preserved collection of ancient human skulls and bones in Britain. The collection consists of shelves in four arched bays that contain 1,000 skulls in total!

Food scene

Recently restored, with many great street food stalls, The Big Greek Bus a favourite of ours! Perfect for a stroll out to see, fantastic views. Live music most weekends from spring to autumn. Lighthouse champagne bar is definitely worth a visit. Also an outdoor cinema screen is set up in the spring and summer months, showing sports events and classic films, check the website for screening details.

Our favourite place for fantastic homecooked food. Great variety, well priced and always delicious. Highly recommend the lasagne, or the Sunday Roast but be sure to book as it is very popular locally. Food served until 9pm every day.

Shopping

Great selection of stores selling at outlet prices. Spend the day, with various restaurant options for lunch or dinner. Perfect for a rainy day as the centre is mostly covered. The Garden of Light is also worth a visit, especially for those with children, a free sensory experience.

City/town information

Spend the day around the cobbled streets of Rye. Many historic places to visit here, some rumoured to be haunted such as the Mermaid Inn! Lots of independent and antique shops. While you're here, Rye Harbour nature reserve is also worth a visit - with a safe cycle path along the coast and many spots for bird watching.

Just a 35 min drive, or get the bus or train for a day out in Canterbury. Must see the cathedral, Canterbury tales, and have a wander through the bustling streets with many independent eateries, shops and pubs.
