Rye
Rye is a small town as well as civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, 2 miles from the sea at the convergence of 3 rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and also 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 totally surrounded by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historical association with the sea has actually included offering ships for the service of the Crown in time of war, as well as being involved in smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be linked to each other by a secret passage. Those historical roots and its beauty make it a traveler destination, with hotels, bed and breakfast, B&B s, tea rooms, and dining establishments. It has a tiny angling fleet, and also Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and various other vessels.
