Rye is a town as well as civil parish in the Rother area, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the convergence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham as well as the Brede. In medieval times, as an essential participant of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and also practically totally bordered by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773.

Those historic roots as well as its appeal make it a traveler location, with resorts, bed and breakfast, B&B s, tea rooms, and also dining establishments.
