Rye
Rye is a small town as well as 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 the Brede. In medieval times, as a crucial participant of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, as well as almost entirely surrounded by the sea. At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historical association with the sea has included giving ships for the service of the Crown in time of war, and being involved in contraband. The well-known Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn and also The Olde Bell Inn, which are stated to be linked to every other by a secret path. Those historical roots as well as its charm make it a traveler destination, with hotels, guest houses, B&B s, tea rooms, as well as dining establishments. It has a little angling fleet, as well as Rye Harbour has centers for luxury yachts and various other vessels.
