Rye
Rye is a small town and also civil parish in the Rother area, in East Sussex, England, 2 miles from the sea at the confluence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham as well as the Brede. In middle ages times, as an essential member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and also nearly totally surrounded by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historical association with the sea has actually consisted of giving ships for the solution of the Crown in time of war, as well as being involved in contraband. The notorious Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn as well as The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be attached to every other by a secret passage. Those historical roots as well as its beauty make it a tourist location, with hotels, bed and breakfast, B&B s, tea rooms, and also restaurants. It has a small angling fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for private yachts and also other vessels.
