Rother

Built around the long-settled valleys of the High Weald, Rother grew into a largely rural district in East Sussex. Its northern parishes lie among wooded sandstone ridges, while the River Rother runs east towards Rye and the marshes beside the English Channel. Battle Abbey stands on the site associated with the Battle of Hastings in 1066, giving the district one of England’s most significant historical reference points. On the coast, Rye’s medieval streets recall its role as a Cinque Ports town, while Bexhill-on-Sea adds a Victorian seaside character.
