Magical walk across the nature reserve

Magical walk across nature reserve from Rye , though initially too the wrong path as the signing is poor. Castle emerged from the landcscape through lakes and rushes. Then a great walk back along the canal

Not much to see!

The walk from the car park to the sea and then along to the former lifeboat station is interesting and with good views on a decent day. Turning inland across the fields to what’s left of the castle, doesn’t really add much.

It looks great.

We didn't go in - this seems a gathered laboured business of the booking/guided variety but the look of the place from all angles out there in the middle of the marshes - stupendous

One for the determined castle basher - note limited open days

Camber castle is largely unspoiled (although ruinous) and a testament to the area's changing coast, which has left the castle marooned, some distance from the sea. This meant that its value as an artillery fort was lost. Built by Henry VIII, the fort didn't have...More

Lovely Old Castle

Camber Castle is a lovely old castle sat in the middle of a sheep field. It wasn't open when we passed so if you are keen to go in check opening times before you come. It is still a nice pass to pass by and...More

Interesting if open!

The walk to the castle was good, we crossed the fields first and came back via the marsh. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the castle it was closed and a notice said it only opened on a particular day every so often, and then it...More

We decided to visit the castle as it was listed on our English heritage package, dissapointed that it's only open for a guided tour first Saturday of each month, otherwise the whole place whichbis quite small is in lock down, considering the size it should...More

Long walk dodging sheep ship

Bit tricky to find, Harbour Road and the Lock/River gate, looks like a private house's garden and then a small nettle ridden footpath to the left through a big gate with a tiny map on the gate takes you onto the sheep fields and shingle...More
