Rye is a stunning coastal town with charm in abundance and plenty of history to discover. One of the Cinque Ports, Rye played an important role in trade and defence on the south coast. Because of this, smugglers also used the harbour, especially the notorious Hawkhurst Gang who met at The Mermaid Inn in the town.

From wondering the steep-cobbled streets to visiting museums, or simply enjoying a coffee in the sunshine – Rye is a lovely place to explore.

Rye, pretty fortified town that once lay by the sea. The harbor and adjoining bay later silted up to such an extent that Rye is now 3 km from the coast. A city gate and many medieval houses have been preserved, especially in the sloping streets with small round cobblestones.
