Rye Rides

Booklet with maps of 3 cycle routes centred around Rye.

Extract:
'From the flat coastal plains of Rye Bay, to the rolling hills and orchards of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The maps show suggested on and off-routes for everyone to enjoy. The rides are in the form of circuits and have been designed so that they can be linked up for the more energetic - with short-cuts for those who have bitten off more than they can chew!'
