Red Hut is a landmark near the mouth of the River Rother on the Rye Harbour and nature reserve side. It has featured in many paintings and photographs over the years. It was first built in the early 1900s and was used to store fishing and shrimping equipment. It was also known as Gran’s Hut by the grandchildren of the woman who owned it.

Hiking

A landmark of Rye Harbour, the Red Roofed Hut was used to store equipment for fishing and shrimping. During World War Two mines were laid all across the area as a defense against Nazi invasion but a strip of land was kept clear for access to the hut.
