Rye, East Sussex

Rye used to have a harbour that came inland to the town, but as the harbour silted up, the coast line moved further out toward Camber. Quaint old town steeped in history, from the net drying shed to the cobbled stone that lead to the church and beyond. Once an island when the sea was inland, you travel to the town along what was once the seabed, which is the Marsh.

Gibbets Mill, Ye Olde Bell Inn, the Mermaid Inn and Camber castle can all be found here. Picture yourself back in the 1700's, listen for the sailors calling, the blacksmith toiling by his furnace, and picture the Hawkhurst gang, sitting with their pistols on the table in case of trouble.
