LOCATION The property is situated in the fishing and yachting village of Rye Harbour, set back from the harbour "front" which consists of a row of picturesque cottages and the William The Conqueror pub. Rye Harbour, built for the Excise men and harbourmaster at Rye to carry out their duties and for the fishermen to land their catches, has buildings which reflect the village's association with the sea, such as the Watch House, the long established Lifeboat Station and Martello Tower, built on the beach line of the time, which formed part of the coastline defences during the Napoleonic Wars. There is also a holiday village alongside the village itself. The Nature Reserve lies within a triangle of land extending south from Rye past Rye Harbour to the sea, westward to Winchelsea Beach and northwards along the River Brede. One and a half miles inland is the Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Rye with period citadel, timbered houses, medieval fortifications, steep cobbled ways including Church Square and Mermaid Street and weekly farmers' market.
