The castle is still a small attraction that almost transports the visitor to times gone by - it still has charm

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is a wonderful and diverse area: a coastline with a pebble beach, a sea wall, lakes from former gravel pits, sheep pastures, canals, inland former pebble beaches, the Rother estuary, bunker sites, various beach plants, and a diverse range of birds. The Discovery Centre offers information and a café with friendly service.

You have lovely views across to Camber Sands from here. Camber Sands is a popular beach with great sand dunes to explore, but it is obviously on the other side of the Rother River if you want to get there. There is a parking area here too, so you can walk to the headland to have a look out over Rye Bay, walk on the shingle beach when the tide is out, or explore some of the old pillbox fortifications in the area.

The nature reserve is an El Dorado for a variety of birds.

There is a car park and a bus stop next to it. The highly recommended pub "William the Conqueror" is very close by. The Rye Harbour Discovery Centre with tea room, information centre and shop is well worth a visit. The light-flooded wooden building is a gem. The extensive nature reserve stretches from the coast to Cumber Castle. It is a paradise for bird lovers and those who want to become one.

In the foreground you can see drought-loving and salt-tolerant plants.

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is located on the site of former gravel pits. The gravel was mainly used for the production of concrete and for road construction. Today, a large number of different birds flock here as the seasons change. Some birds are loyal to their location, most are migratory. There is also a lot to offer plant lovers, as there are various habitats. Water-loving plants, plants that tolerate drought in gravel and plants for alternating wet and dry locations can be found.

The year 1066 was a year of particular historical significance on both the French and English sides of the English Channel: William, Duke of Normandy, went to England with his army, where he defeated King Harold militarily and made a career by ascending the throne himself. The story of his victorious campaign was recorded in a very expressive depiction on a richly illustrated carpet. This "Tapisserie de Bayeux" - which has been preserved to this day and is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its importance - is on display in a museum there and can be found here as a komoot hiking highlight: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/3375970
