Historic sites will be able to reopen interior spaces to the public from Monday (May 17) under step three of the roadmap out of lockdown.

Here, we round up a selection of the places in East and West Sussex due to start welcoming visitors back indoors this month.

From Monday (May 17) the ground floor of Bateman's, in Burwash, is due to reopen, according to the National Trust. The first floor, which includes the study and exhibition room, is to remain closed. Bateman's, said to have been built about 1634, was the former home of Rudyard Kipling who bought it in 1902. See nationaltrust.org.uk
