RURAL
EAST SUSSEX
An area of contrasting countryside - to the South and West, landscapes
vary from river valleys and chalk cliffs to rolling green hills
sheltering picturesque villages and panoramic views to the sea.
An unrivalled coastline to include such beauty spots as the Seven
Sisters and the dramatic white cliffs of Beachy Head. To the North
and East, the Weald with picture book towns and villages, undulating
wooded terrain, with some of the finest oak and specimen trees,
leading down to the Romney Marsh and Pevensey Levels, now part owned
by English Nature and managed by the Sussex
Wildlife Trust.
1066 COUNTRY
With Historic beaches and ports, includes the towns of Battle,
where King Harold fell; Hastings with the Old Town and Fisherman's
Museum, home of Britain's first Norman Castle and latterly, of the
fictitious Foyles War fame. Pevensey,
the landing point for both the Romans in the 4th Century and William
the Conqueror in 1066; Rye, perched on a hill overlooking the River
Rother and Romney Marsh having the maze of cobbled streets and narrow
passages with Medieval and Georgian buildings. Rye Bay surrounds
the Cinque Port towns of Winchelsea and Rye, and is in an area rich
in wildlife and historical interest.
