Northiam is a superb base for exploring the surrounding countryside including the medieval Cinque Port town of Rye with its cobbled streets, restaurants, tea rooms and art galleries. Visit the Kino cinema, the home of digital entertainment. The Rother Valley also offers a plethora of walking and cycling opportunities, bring your own bikes and helmets, or hire locally. Within walking distance is the Kent and East Sussex Vintage Steam Railway which chugs its way through 10½ miles of beautiful countryside, enabling you to visit Tenterden, also known as 'The Jewel of the Weald', and once another thriving Cinque Port town but now 10 miles from the sea. At the other end of the line is the iconic, fairytale, moated Castle Bodiam, which has changed little in 600 years and featured in the movie Wonka!
Enjoy a lazy summer afternoon soaking up the tranquillity of the River Rother (1 mile away) and hire a rowing boat, glide effortlessly past the reed beds and spot a kingfisher or heron. The romantic recreation of a medieval manor house at Great Dixter, and its beautiful gardens, are worth a visit (walking distance). No holiday would be complete without a trip to the vast expanse of golden sand dunes at Camber, glorious in the sunshine, and invigorating when the sea breezes blow. You could even try your hand at kite surfing!
Locally there are many National Trust properties to visit. Bodiam Castle, Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst Castle, Batemans, Small Hythe Place and Knole Park to name just a few! Tenterden, Rye and Battle are all around 6-8 miles away, with the seaside town of Hastings being just 10 miles away.
Beach 10 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
