chilledchimp's birthday present to me was a weekend in Rye. It's a picture postcard village perched on a hill overlooking marshlands in East Sussex and well worth a visit for the windy streets, walks and food.

Winchelsea Beach (Win is marsh and chelsea or chesil means beach so this is Marsh Beach Beach)
