The Sun's Head of Travel Caroline McGuire weighs in...
"I grew up near Rye and since my teen years, it has been the destination for many day trips and weekend breaks.
"Thanks to its untouched charm, location, pubs and shops, the historic town has something to please almost anyone.
"Kids (and adult-sized kids) will love the Knoops hot chocolate shop, with its endless variations on the cocoa drink, and if that's not enough of a sugar hit, there's the delightfully old fashioned Britcher and Rivers sweet shop, where they still measure out orders from huge plastic tubs.
"For some quintessential seaside fish and chips - ok it's not quite on the sea but it's not far off - there's Marino's Fish Bar, which plenty of people have argued is the best chippy in the UK.
"Then there's always the option of a walk to Camber Sands or the beautiful village of Winchelsea is a short drive.
"If that still isn't enough, Tillingham winery, with its great wood-fired pizzas and wine tastings is also 10 minutes in the car. "

Crucial motorway tunnel used by 150,000 Brits per day is hit by a WEEK of closures
It is due to planned "essential" maintenance work STEER CLEAR Crucial motorway tunnel used by 150,000 Brits per day is hit by a WEEK of closures – check your route A CRUCIAL motorway tunnel that is used by more than 150,000 Brits each day is set be disrupted by closures this week. Tunnel closures come in the lead up to a complete closure of the QEII Bridge this weekend. 3 The Dartford Crossing is the only way to cross the Thames east of London Credit: Alamy 3 It also links Essex and Kent via the QEII bridge Credit: Getty Drivers are being alerted to overnight closures at the Dartford Crossing due to essential maintenance work scheduled from Monday, August 11 to Monday, August 18. More than 150,000 vehicles per day are reported to rely on the Dartford Crossing. It has been considered a vital cross that enables vehicles to commute or carry freight between the south-east and the rest of the country. It is the only way to cross the Thames river by road east of London, and links the counties of Essex and Kent. This is via the QEII bridge for southbound traffic, and two 1.4km-long tunnels for travellers going northbound. The closures will only occur overnight across the week, where driver's may be hit by disruptions. Diversions via the National Highways' network and local routes will be clearly signposted during this time. The QEII bridge will be fully closed from Saturday, August 16 to Sunday, August 17, between 10pm to 5am. The diversion route will be through the an installed contraflow through the Dartford east tunnel from 9:30pm on Saturday night. The Dartford west tunnel will remain open overnight for travel in the northbound direction. M6 and M4 closed over serious crashes with drivers facing long delays However, height restrictions will apply to vehicles going in this direction between 4.8 to 5 metres high. Tunnel closures set for this week Monday, August 11/12 (10pm - 5.30am) A282 Northbound Dartford Crossing West Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Tuesday, August 12/13 (10pm - 5.30am) A282 Northbound Dartford Crossing West Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Wednesday, August 13/14 (10pm - 5.30am) A282 Northbound Dartford Crossing West Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Thursday, August 14/15 (10pm - 5.30am) A282 Northbound Dartford Crossing West Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Friday, August 15/16 (11pm - 6am) A282 Northbound Dartford Crossing West Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Saturday, August 16/17 (10pm - 5am) A282 QEII Bridge closure clockwise Southbound QEII Bridge closure for bridge works Diversion via east tunnel contraflow Sunday, August 17/18 (10pm - 5am) A282 Northbound Dartfood Crossing East Tunnel closure Tunnel closure for maintenance works Diversion via National Highways network Closure of the Dartford Crossing this week comes just months after it was also shut down for maintenance work in May. It involved the M20 motorway which was closed between Maidstone and Ashford overnight ahead of the spring bank holiday weekend for Operation Brock. The Dartford Crossing is also set to become more expensive next month. The cost of using it is expected to jump from £2.50 to £3.50 in September. This will mark the first price increase for the crossing since 2014. Transport Secretary, Lilian Greenwood, explained the toll increase was necessary in order to manage the almost 200,000 vehicles that use it everyday. Analysts have suggested that these increased charges could be used to fund the upcoming Lower Thames Crossing mega project. The project is set to ease congestion, and provide an alternative route for vehicles between Essex and Kent.

Two UK train stations to SHUT this month for £11billion railway upgrade – and one won't reopen until 2027
Customers have been warned to plan their journeys ahead of travelling SIDETRACKED Two UK train stations to SHUT this month for £11billion railway upgrade – and one won't reopen until 2027 TWO UK railway stations are set to shut this month as part of an £11billion railway upgrade - and one of them won't reopen until 2027. It comes amid major investment in stations and trains across the country with services impacted in several parts of the UK. 1 Two UK railway stations are set to shut this month as part of an £11billion railway upgrade Credit: Network Rail Customers warned to plan ahead The multi-billion-pound Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) is a programme of railway improvements being carried out by Network Rail. The aim is to improve customer journeys across the North and facilitate better transport links between towns and cities like Manchester and Leeds. Now, as major work begins to take place in the railways across Huddersfield and Deighton, customers have been urged to plan ahead. Gareth Hope, TRU sponsor, said: 'This period marks one of the most significant phases of work on the Transpennine Route Upgrade to date, delivering vital improvements that will bring faster, more reliable journeys to customers for generations. 'Whilst we know our work will cause disruption, we'd like to thank customers and local residents for their patience as we deliver generational change to their stations and their rail journeys.' Exact closure dates Huddersfield train station will be closed from Saturday, August 30 until Sunday, September 28. During this time, the Huddersfield viaduct will be updated and the John William Street will be replaced. Platforms, and track renewals will also be carried out as planned as well as signal updates. Train services from Huddersfield towards Manchester, Leeds, York, Bradford and Sheffield will be affected during this time. But where possible, diversions will be in place to allow customers to travel on trains Picturesque English town is getting new £27m train line for first time in 60 years – & will cut journey times by an hour However, customers are urged to check before travelling via or their train operator's website When the station reopens in September it will only be on a temporary position until the station is complete in 2027. And it will only run with three platforms in use instead of six during that time. Deighton station will also close on August 30th, but it won't reopen until 2027. Three scenic train journeys you can take in the UK Cornish Coast - One trip that rail enthusiasts seem to love is along a stretch of the Cornish coast and takes just 10 minutes to complete. The route from St Erth to St Ives only stops at Carbis Bay en route to its final destination, but the views out the window for the whole journey are pretty spectacular. Another highlight of the journey is that St Ives station is situated right next to Porthminster beach, meaning the sand and sea can be accessed almost immediately. Meanwhile, the station is less than a ten minute walk into town, where the harbour, shops, galleries and pubs can be explored. Durham to Edinburgh - Another train route that people in the UK love is the East Coast train line between Durham and Edinburgh, with coastal views and city landscapes among the sights that can be seen out the window. Newcastle, Berwick, Lindisfarne and Durham Cathedral are all among the highlights on that route. Scotland's West Highland Line - While Scotland is home to plenty of famous landmarks and top attractions, it also has one of the most breathtaking train routes in the world. Scotland's West Highland Line has previously been dubbed the best rail journey in the world by Wanderlust - and it's easy to see why. The journey from Glasgow to Fort William is one of my favourite train routes - and I've interrailed through mainland Europe. With mountain landscapes, serene lochs, wistful moors, and wildlife all visible through the train window, it's certainly a route all holidaymakers should consider doing at least once. Once open, the new Deighton station will boast two new tracks to allow faster services to overtake slower ones. It will also extend platforms to facilitate longer trains with more seats for passengers and there will also be a new footbridge with lifts for step-free access to both platforms. During both railway closures, hourly rail replacement buses will operate to enable passengers to complete their journeys. During this time, there will also be a number of road closures around both stations. However, customers are urged to check before travelling via or their train operator's website. The closures come as another railway line is set to shut next month. Thousands of passengers travelling to Gatwick Airport will be affected sparking travel chaos for holidaymakers.
