Margaret Scrivens

Margaret Scrivens is a historic site just outside Bexhill-on-Sea, though finding much information about it takes some digging. What we know is that it's a place with genuine Sussex roots, the kind of location that appeals most to local history enthusiasts or anyone keen on understanding how people actually lived in this corner of the South East rather than just ticking off famous landmarks.

The site itself is fairly low-key - don't expect grand structures or visitor facilities. It's more about the story than the spectacle, which means you'll want to do your homework before visiting or go with someone who knows the area well. Given its proximity to Bexhill-on-Sea, it works as a diversion if you're already exploring the coast, but it's not the sort of place you'd drive an hour to see on its own.

For families with young children, this won't hold their attention long. Walkers and history buffs will find more to chew on, particularly if they're interested in local heritage rather than big-name attractions. It pairs reasonably well with a holiday at one of the nearby parks - Park Holidays UK is just a mile away, making it an easy afternoon outing if the weather's decent.

There's no confirmed admission charge or opening hours listed, so ring ahead before you visit. Bexhill-on-Sea itself has better-known attractions if Margaret Scrivens doesn't quite deliver.
