What Should I Do With Two Days In Winchelsea?

If you have 2 days to spend in Winchelsea, here are some suggestions:

Day 1:

  • Start your day by visiting the famous St Thomas Church, which dates back to the 12th century. It is known for its beautiful stained glass windows as well as its historical significance. (1-2 hours)
