One of the oldest streets in Rye.

This is where the body of John Breads, who was hanged for murder in 1743, was left to rot in a gibbet for over 20 years. The metal cage, with his skull still clamped in it, is kept at the Town Hall!

There is still a lot of fishing going on in Hastings. However, as the long beach is too narrow to lay out the fishing nets to dry, especially at high tide, Hastings has a special feature: the so-called net shops at the beach harbor, narrow, tall wooden buildings in which the nets are hung.

Dymchurch, a lovely, unspoiled village, was built on reclaimed land. A sea-barrier constructed by Roman invaders is maintained to this day.

Well surfaced road with little traffic, features in a couple of the local sportif’s in summer

The most beautiful street in beautiful Rye. It can get very busy, so it's best to visit in the morning or evening if you want good photos!
