Rye Harbour Nature Reserve (Winchelsea)

Fantastic reserve. Great for bird watching, butterflies, and plants as well as some lovely walks.

It's the opposite side of the river that runs through Rye and looks across to Camber Sands. They have multiple look out points for bird watchers and photographers. You will need a long lense to really capture a good shot, more than 210mm ideally...

No matter how many times we visit here there is always something different to see. Great for a day out with a picnic as there are plenty of places to sit. Take some of the little tracks off the main walk and see the wildlife.
We found a pond full of Marsh frogs.

A great place for scenery and wildlife, easy parking and multiple hides to view wildlife from.

One of the nicest UK beaches. When the tide is our the sand beach is just stunning. We caught some crabs on the line and little one even had a little swim. We even saw a seal.
Great place to take doggy for a walk too, lots of people had their dogs off the lead which was lovely.

Blustery day but lovely to visit. Nice walk to visitors center and then futher on to birdhide. Continue on the concrete path to the beach or complete the circular walk back to carpark, everything is free including the smiling cheery staff who were happy to help. All routes suitable for prams wheelchairs etc.

A wonderful, well maintained nature reserve, rich with bird life.

What a delightful place to go for a walk, with good stopping places to watch the wildlife. Walks are varied so you can judge how far you wish to go. Paved paths excellent for wheelchairs, pushchairs and bicycles for little people. There is also a cafe. Car parking is free!
