The historic towns of Rye and Winchelsea are famous for their cobbled streets, timber-framed houses and scenic marshland. But beyond the tourist trail some surprising stories await…
There’s a harbour two miles inland, beaches in the middle of fields and a whole town that fell into the sea. Tides, waves and currents have created a unique and dynamic landscape.
This walk explores how people have made a living from this place in a fascinating story of surviving and adapting to the forces of nature.
