    Cykling

    Now partly in ruins, the 13th century St Thomas the Martyr Church is dedicated to Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury. The church was built when the whole village of Winchelsea was moved inland and uphill after flooding decimated the port of the same name. There are differing accounts as to whether the building was ever finished or if it was partly destroyed in an attack by the French. It is worth looking inside at the intricate masonry, medieval tombs and early 20th century stained glass window.

    In front of this historic village in East Sussex, the so-called Battle of Winchelsea or Les Espagnols sur Mer was fought during the Hundred Years' War.

    Embark on the Winchelsea Town & Beach loop from Rye, a moderate hiking route that spans 10.7 miles (17.2 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 237 feet (72 metres). This journey, typically completed in about 4 hours and 25 minutes, takes you through a captivating mix of historic towns and coastal landscapes. You will wander through the ancient streets of Rye and Winchelsea, enjoying views of Rye Bay, before traversing scenic marshland and the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, where you might spot the intriguing "The Watcher" sculpture along the 1066 Country Walk section.

    When planning your visit, be prepared for varied terrain that includes hiking paths, roads, and footpaths. Surfaces range from asphalt to natural, unpaved sections, and some areas can become quite muddy, especially after rain, so sturdy, waterproof footwear is highly recommended. While generally accessible, you should expect to encounter some stiles and gentle hills throughout the route, adding to the adventure without being overly strenuous.

    This trail offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, set within the medieval High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As you hike, you will pass through charming towns with ancient buildings and cobbled streets, and discover historical landmarks like the Strand Gate in Winchelsea, providing glimpses into the area's rich past. The diverse ecosystem of the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve also makes this route a notable experience for those interested in coastal wildlife and conservation.
