Rye
Rye is a town and 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 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 virtually 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 supplying ships for the service of the Crown in time of war, and also being involved in contraband. The infamous Hawkhurst Gang used its old inns The Mermaid Inn and also The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be connected per various other by a secret passage. Those historic origins as well as its appeal make it a traveler destination, with resorts, bed and breakfast, B&B s, tea rooms, and also restaurants. It has a tiny angling fleet, as well as Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels.
