About Rye
The ancient town of Rye is situated in the East Sussex countryside, in the South East of England overlooking the River Rother and Romney Marsh.
Boasting a diverse mix of medieval, tudor and Georgian architecture situated between a maze of enchanting cobbled streets, this beautiful and historic town offers its visitors a wide range of attractions, shops, restaurants and bars that you will want to visit time and time again.
Once surrounded by sea, the picturesque town of Rye, which is part of the famous Cinque Ports, has retained its village feel and is now a thriving market town. Visitors can hunt for antiques, explore the museums and art galleries or simply soak up Rye’s unique character. The Heritage Centre brings to life over 700 years of history and the famous Rye potteries give visitors the opportunity to watch pottery being made in the traditional way.
Rye also plays host to a number of annual events including the famous Rye Festival and Bonfire Night.
