Tourist information/places to visit
Probably the most iconic view of East Sussex, the Seven Sisters cliffs and coastguard cottages - approx just over 1 hours drive away from Marsh View Cottage
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to follow guidelines and remove tourist information leaflets. If you require these, you can pick some up at Rye Heritage Centre on The Strand in Rye, when it re-opens soon
Camber Sands and Rye are just 3 miles apart but both have their own magic and complement each other perfectly. Our Sussex holiday cottage is
located in historic 1066 country and there is a wealth of history in this corner of England but also some stunning coast line and countryside.
