Rye and the Sussex coastline are only a short drive away and the area has fishing lakes and golf courses. Apart from Biddenden Vineyard, there are a few other well-know vineyards, such as Chapel Down and Hush Heath which are part of the Vineyard Tour, offering tastings of their local wines and beers.
