About

Eastern Rother ward is a large, predominantly rural area covering the eastern part of Rother district in East Sussex. It includes the historic towns of Rye and Winchelsea, as well as several smaller villages and extensive tracts of countryside. The landscape is characterised by low-lying marshland, reclaimed from the sea over centuries, and the expansive Romney Marsh. Agriculture is a key feature, with fields and grazing land defining much of the open scenery.

The area is defined by its coastal and riverine geography, featuring the estuaries of the River Rother and River Brede. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, with its shingle beaches and saline lagoons, is a significant environmental site. The ancient Cinque Port of Rye, with its cobbled streets and medieval fortifications, sits atop a small hill overlooking the surrounding levels. This combination of historic settlement and managed wetland creates a distinct sense of place.
