Rye is beautiful and the Cantii Way provides a nice little tour of the town, but watch out for the cobbles - they can be slippery and will shake your teeth out!

It is an English monument. You can read why in the following link: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1415588?section=official-list-entry If you set off 30 minutes before low tide, you should be able to make it. There are ladders outside. Unfortunately, I wasn't wearing my swimming trunks and had to stop because of the high tide.

Built in the 13th Century, this (and the nearby ditch) were part of Winchelsea's defences. In 1380, the French gained entry through this gate and gave the town a good, old-fashioned sacking!

You can ride all that way along the sea and when you do it during high tide, you cycle 1 meter next to waves

The church was never finished - the tower is missing! Nevertheless, it is beautiful and forms the center of the village. The ancient cemetery is also beautifully planted and worth a visit!
