GUIDE
CAMBER SANDS
Likely thanks to a shared abundance of charm and arguably the most breathtaking scenery around- not to mention a closely intertwined history of market developments and architectural growth- our illustrious county and the wonders of East Sussex are often paired when it comes to staycations that blend historical beauty with modern luxury. Often topping that list on the Sussex-side, however, is the diminutive medieval jewel that is Rye.
A beautiful hilltop town known for its sloped cobblestone streets and proximity to the coast, and the setting of many a remarkable history-book tale, Rye was once a Royal Cinque Port and is frequently remembered for its 14th-century fortification, which included the building of a defensive town wall and four gates, one of which- The Landgate- still stands proudly today.
Albeit small, this vivid picture of a destination is packed with hidden gems, cosy pubs and dreamy stays that visitors will want to carve out plenty of time to explore. Whether you’ re treasure hunting, scenic rambling or simply indulging, let Rye’ s natural charisma envelope you in a thrilling pocket of enjoyment and intrigue at every turn.
“ I fell in love with Rye for its timeless charm: winding cobbled streets, quaint cottages and stunning coastal views. The town’ s rich history, warm community and unique character captured my heart, and its welcoming spirit feels like home. Every corner tells a story, from ancient inns to independent shops. It feels like stepping into a fairytale, where peace, beauty and inspiration are found in every moment.”
