Rye
Rye is a town and also civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the confluence of 3 rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham as well as the Brede. In middle ages times, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and nearly completely bordered by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historical association with the sea has included providing ships for the solution of the Crown in time of war, and also being associated with smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be attached per various other by a secret path. Those historical origins and also its charm make it a tourist destination, with hotels, guest houses, B&B s, cafeteria, as well as restaurants. It has a tiny fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for private yachts and various other vessels.
