Rye, Sussex

Rye Rye is a small, well-to-do town close to the coast of Sussex. It is a seaport, which stands some two miles from the open sea but at the meeting of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In the Middle Ages, before the shore retreated, it was an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation. Its historic roots and its charm make Rye a tourist destination, and much of its economy is based on tourism. There is a small fishing fleet harboured at Rye. Rye Harbour also has facilities for yachts and other vessels. (Read more)
