There are lots of lakes between Rye and Camber Sands, this is the biggest. There are only a few places where you can get to the water! According to the sign, the path along the left bank towards Rye is closed until around October 24th due to work. The path on the right is OK, but it's asphalt and always along the road, nice for cycling, but a bit boring for us to walk.
