Getting There
Camber Castle is about 1 1/2 miles from the centre of Rye. From the centre of town head to the Strand and cross the River Brede, you should now be on the A259 heading towards Hastings. Follow the river. Just after a shipyard Harbour Road goes off to the left heading towards Rye Harbour, immediately crossing the River Brede again. As soon as you've crossed the bridge there is a public bridleway going off to the right, alongside the bank of the Brede. Stay on the bridal way and you should be able to see the castle about a mile away, just keep following the bridleway the whole way.
