Rye is an old port town packed with half-timbered homes, little curious shops and cobbled boulevards. There was a time when Rye was completely surrounded by the sea, but due to silting the sea has receded. Visit the Mermaid Inn, which is the largest medieval building here. Other places to see include St. Mary's Church and Rye Castle Museum. Accommodation is simple to find and you will get Rye hotels in all budgets. The more energetic can visit the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, which is home to a huge variety of flora and fauna. There are some renovated coastal Rye hotels dominating the dunes.

The Hope Anchor is a mid 18th Century Hotel built at the end of one of the most delightful streets in Rye. The building originally would have housed a Smugglers gang thought to have been “The Tenterden”, a nasty motley crew! Pistols at the ready and regular fights for territory with other local smugglers gangs including the infamous Hawkhurst, legend has it that on one occasion the Tenterden gang famously out gunned the Hawkhurst gang and they scurried hurriedly back to their watering hole! Most of the secret passage ways and escape routes are now blocked in but once here, it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to realise what it was like in those dark and exciting days!
