Rye
Rye is a small town and also civil parish in the Rother area, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the convergence of 3 rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and also 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, and practically entirely surrounded by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historic association with the sea has consisted of 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 old inns The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be attached to every other by a secret path. Those historic origins and its appeal make it a vacationer location, with resorts, bed and breakfast, B&B s, tea rooms, as well as dining establishments. It has a tiny fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has centers for luxury yachts and other vessels.
