About East Sussex

Perched on a hill, overlooking the Rye Marshes, the town of RYE is a maze of Medieval and Georgian buildings, cobbles streets and narrow passages with plenty of architectural treasures to be found. It is home to the Rye Castle Museum, housed in two sites. The Ypres Tower, built in 1249 as part of the town's defences, and the East Street site tells the story of Rye's long maritime history and much more. The Rye Heritage Centre, located on the Strand Quay is a great way to start your visit before exploring the town itself - the story of Rye is shown using a dramatic sound and light show. Art galleries sell works by local artists and potters. The Rye Art gallery not only has changing exhibitions by artists past and present, but exhibitions of local artists' works that you can buy.

PEVENSEY was the landing point for both the Romans during the 4th century and William the Conqueror in 1066. Today you can visit Pevensey Castle (English Heritage). Nearby in the High Street is the Court House Museum, 16th century court room, prison cells and exercise yard.

HERSTMONCEUX is the perfect place for visitors to lose themselves in the magic and mystery of the modern science Observatory Science Centre and also Herstmonceux Castle and Gardens - a magnificent moated castle set in beautiful parkland and Elizabethan gardens.

The thriving market town of BATTLE is home to the very spot where King Harold fell during the fateful conflict. Visit 1066 Battle of Hastings, Abbey and Battlefield (English Heritage) and explore the site of the famous battle between the Saxons and Normans. In the High Street, the medieval Almonry and Gardens is now home to the Battle Museum of Local History. At Yesterday's World you can step back through time, and enjoy bygone shops and room settings.
