Neighbourhood information
Camber is situated on the Sussex coast between Rye and Lydd. This part of the coastline is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and safe bathing, an ideal family holiday location. When the sea goes out there is up to half a mile of sand before you can dip a toe in the water, even when the tide is in, children can paddle safely due to the gradients of the sands. The sand dunes that protect this area are havens for picnickers, giving shelter and privacy. Broomhill Sands is a hot spot for watersports enthusiasts, the beaches running from here to Camber are perfect for all forms of sea and watersports, including windsurfing and sailing, hang-gliding and sand yachting, to name a few! Two well-established centres offer tuition for those taking their first plunge, and they also have equipment and wetsuits available for hire for those whose taste for the sea and its exhilarating air has already taken hold.
The closest village is Camber, excellent food is served by the two pubs, both close to the beach, as well as a hotel with a restaurant offering a more formal dining experience. Shops are more limited in Camber, but Rye, only four miles away, is a 13th-century Cinque Port in East Sussex, host to the River Rother, Romney Marshes and a history dating back before the Norman Conquest. A cobbled town offering an excellent array of unusual shops, antique emporiums, and galleries selling local artist paintings and pottery, Rye also has a delightful range of tea rooms, restaurants, pubs and historic inns. Walkers and birdwatchers can enjoy a footpath leading across the marshes to Camber Castle, built by Henry VIII.
Local attractions include kitesurfing centres, miniature or full-size steam train rides, local vineyards, Chapel Down and Gusbourne, stately homes, Chartwell and Batemans, castles Bodiam, Dover and Scotney, gardens Sissinghurst and Great Dixter, and beaches including the beautiful nearby Camber Sands. Artists and photographers will especially enjoy the scenery;...
