Rye
Rye is a town as well as civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the assemblage of 3 rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In middle ages times, as a crucial member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, as well as virtually entirely surrounded by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historic association with the sea has included supplying ships for the solution of the Crown in time of war, as well as being associated with smuggling. The well-known Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn as well as The Olde Bell Inn, which are claimed to be attached per various other by a secret passage. Those historical roots and also its appeal make it a tourist location, with resorts, guest houses, B&B s, tea rooms, and restaurants. It has a small fishing fleet, as well as Rye Harbour has centers for private yachts and also other vessels.
