Home to artists Duncan Grant & Vanessa Bell (sister of Virginia Wolf) and the beating heart of The Bloomsbury Set. Every surface of the house is painted and house tours run throughout the day limited to 10/half hourly. The charming garden is wonderfully English with foxgloves to my shoulders! Imperative to read up about it pre-visit - coffee table book on site - it's my all time favourite summer destination. ENJOY

Sightseeing
Quintessentially British village overlooking Rye Bay kept immaculately by residents (we call it Gods waiting room). There are smugglers tunnels connecting Winchelsea to Rye. and our very own Sandhurst resident Alex Preston has just published a wonderful book based on fact, called WINCHELSEA which is a must read
