There are numerous independently owned boutiques and many extremely good eateries. Rye has been the home of writers Henry James (Lamb’s House is owned by the National Trust), Radclyffe Hall and EF Benson, and to artists Paul Nash and Edward Burra. There is a thriving programme of events in Rye, including the very popular Jazz Festival and various food festivals. The medieval citadel is home to a myriad of art, curiosities, and cosy pubs, as well as modern boutique hotels and contemporary restaurants serving the best Sussex has to offer, from land and sea. Built on smuggled secrets and timeless tales, Rye has nooks and crannies to explore and distant views across Romney Marsh to ponder. The Romney Marshes are on your doorstep with their network of ancient churches rubbing shoulders with vineyards and fine dining. The Marshes are flat and therefore very popular with cyclists. Rye Bay is only a short drive away comprising the famous Camber Sands, beautiful shingle beach at Winchelsea and Rye Harbour where mooring and launching facilities and boat trips are available. Rye Harbour has a newly opened visitor centre and is renowned for its bird watching opportunities. A half hour drive away is the amazing World Heritage “desert” of Dungeness, with its enchanting bleakness and the cottage where the filmmaker Derek Jarman designed his famous garden.
