Hi Leslie, thank you so much for your lovely comments! I’m so envious you’re heading to Rye for a month. It’s such a charming town. There are plenty of tearooms to enjoy, and be sure to visit the Rye Museum and Ypres Castle, in addition to the Rye Model! It’s a must!

You can drive or take the train to Hastings and Eastbourne which are both lovely to explore for the day.
The Cliffs of Dover are a great way to enjoy a summer day too – including the war tunnel tour you can do.
Bodiam Castle is a nice outing too and a great spot for dogs and picnics!
I’d also definitely recommend some National Trust/English Heritage properties. Some of my favourites are Bateman’s (Rudyard Kipling’s house) and the Down House (Charles Darwin).
P.s. head to Winchelsea Beach and walk to Pett Level if you’re up for it. Great for the dogs, too!
Rye Nature Reserve is also a really lovely walk plus you’ll see an old pill box!
Hope that helps – and enjoy yourselves!!

Very inspiring. Question…. my husband and I both 70 years old plus our two Havanese, Walter & English, will be traveling from the US and staying in Rye for an entire month this coming August. Very excited about this!! Any suggestions on how to maximize and organize our time in Rye and the surrounding areas?
Thank you! Leslie
P.S. We will have a car.

Very valid point, Jean! This town is definitely lacking accessible amenities. I can understand it, to a point. It’s a shame it’s not more accessible!

should you decide to pay at a meter, there is, more often than not, a fair walk to
and from your vehicle. Rye is a stunning place, full of history – just a shame that Rye
council have made it so difficult to park, this will not help the economy of the town !

What a charming town with such beautiful architecture. I love Tudor homes. Thank you for writing such a fabulously detailed post.

I’ve been trying to travel to more places in the UK over the last few years, but I haven’t been to Rye yet. I’ll definitely add it to my list to visit this year.
