Alan Marr Pictures

A small gallery tucked into the coastal town of Winchelsea, Alan Marr Pictures is the sort of place you stumble upon rather than plan for. The gallery showcases work by Alan Marr himself - a painter with a clear eye for the Sussex landscape and the particular light that bounces off the marshes around these parts.

What you're looking at depends on what's on when you visit, but expect something intimate rather than sprawling. This isn't the Tate. It's a proper artist's space where you can actually see work without queuing or fighting crowds, which has its own appeal. The kind of gallery where the person behind the desk might actually be the artist, and they'll chat to you about the paintings if you seem interested.

Winchelsea itself is worth the visit - a medieval town perched on a hill with genuine character and a handful of decent spots for lunch. If you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks - Rye Harbour is closest at under two miles, while Camber Sands sits three and a half miles away - this works well as a rainy afternoon diversion or a quiet morning browse before heading out onto the Romney Marsh walks.

Realistic time to allow: 45 minutes to an hour, unless you're genuinely keen on the work. Phone ahead to check opening times and what's currently on show - it's small enough that hours can shift seasonally.
