East Sussex

Apart from the physical landmarks such as the Downs and the Weald, East Sussex has a great many landmarks of historical interest. There are castles at Bodiam, Herstmonceux, Lewes and Pevensey; and defence works such as the Martello towers and Eastbourne Redoubt.[12] Battle Abbey, built to commemorate the Battle of Hastings; Bateman’s, home of Rudyard Kipling, Hammerwood Park, one of the first examples of Greek Revival architecture in the UK; and the University of Sussex buildings at Falmer are among interesting buildings. Bexhill on sea is also home to the De La Warr Pavilion. East Sussex also includes two chalk hill figures, being the Litlington White Horse and the Long Man of Wilmington, which are both situated in the Sussex Downs.

SEDLESCOMBE Organic Vineyard

Sedlescombe organic vineyard is an English vineyard located in Robertsbridge, just outside Sedlescombe in East Sussex.

Established in 1979, it is an all organic vineyard. It is one of the few British vineyards to produce red wine.

Book a wine tasting and give them a visit.

Entertainment & Events

As South East England’s official tourism website, it is fantastic to be able to welcome visitors and see everyone enjoying days out, weekend’s away and holidays in the South East once again.  With all restrictions lifting on the 19th July, all of the remaining tourism and entertainment businesses in the South will now be able to open and return to full capacity, which is a big boast for the industry.  We understand that many businesses will be continuing to ask visitors to wear face masks when indoors, so please continue to check the specific websites before visiting and continue to plan ahead.

Charles Palmer Vineyard

Charles Palmer vines were first planted in 2006 specifically with the aim of producing wines of the highest standard. Production is small and meticulous. Every effort is made to ensure only the best grapes are produced and selected according to the family’s exacting standards. The result is a small and exciting collection of vintage wines, each vintage is unique and characterful in its own way.

 

The Queens Head

Situated in the heart of  the beautiful and idyllic village of Sedlescombe, this 15th Century pub exudes character and charm with its exposed beams and large open fireplaces. 

The Carr Taylor Vineyard

The location in the far south eastern corner of the UK allows us to enjoy some of the warmest and driest conditions in the country. The generally cool climate for vines, long growing season and slow ripening into autumn means that our English grapes possess a concentration of delicate aromatic fruit not to be found in more robust wines from warmer climates. As well as producing crisp light wines, the flavours often echo fruits traditionally grown in this area, such as green apple and pear.

BOOK A MEAL AT

The Brickwall Hotel

They offer a variety of different menus, A La Carte, Table D’Hote and specially tailored party menus. We also cater for vegetarian and other specific dietary requirements.

Particular attention is paid to the quality and variety of food served in our restaurant by Head Chef, Lukasz Zasadny. To complement the cuisine the Brickwall has a well-stocked wine cellar with a large range from its wine merchant of over 35 years.

1066 Things To Do

Walk the winding cobbled streets seeking out quirky shops and secret passageways. Welcome to 1066 Country.

We had such a lovely stay here, Christina has literally thought of everything. We have stayed in some very nice Airbnb but this was by far the most charming, clean and well equipped. To top it off Christina was a great host, very welcoming.

We had an amazing stay! Previous reviews were spot on. Everything was catered for. All mod-cons throughout made for a touch of luxury and perfect for a romantic getaway. Tina was the perfect host. Really helpful on arrival and the welcome drink was a lovely touch. She made herself available if we needed anything but everything was so well laid out we didn’t want for anything the whole stay. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Tina.

A quaint rural retreat - perfect for some quiet R&R. Walking distance to the local shops and pub with the coastline a few miles away and countryside on your doorstep. The property itself is refurbished to a good standard with everything you need for a few days away. We will return!

My wife and I spent two nights at Tina's lovely cottage celebrating our wedding anniversary. Prior to arrival, Tina was quick to respond to messages and sent advice about the cottage and local area. On our arrival we were met by Tina who showed us around the cottage. A lot of detail and thought was put into our stay to make us feel comfortable and at home. The hamper and bottle of sparkly was a lovely touch. The cottage was beautifully decorated and very clean. We had a wonderful weekend inside the cottage and on a long circular walk to Bodiam Castle. I would highly recommend staying in Riverbridge Cottages.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at your property! From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a one in a million find. The warm welcome we received really set the tone for our stay, and we were blown away by all the small details that made such a big difference. The Nespresso machine was a lovely touch, and we really appreciated being able to cozy up by the fire with a good book. The interior decoration was top-notch, and it truly felt like a home away from home. But top of the bill was definitely the two-person bath - what a treat after a cold day on the golf course! We can't wait to come back and indulge in that luxurious experience once again. Thank you for such a memorable stay, and we look forward to booking with you again in the future.
