things to do in rye


At Scotney Castle there is a country house, a romantic garden and a 14th century moated castle – all in a beautiful wooded estate.  Scotney Castle (now owned and operated by the National Trust) has a long and rich history dating from 1137 and holds some interesting stories about the last inhabitants of the castle, the Hussey family.  It is a 40 minute drive from Rye so may be a good place to take in on the way home.
