Located in present-day East Sussex on the Rother River and Romney Marshes, the town of Rye was founded as a cinque port in the 13th century. Rye is a charming cobblestone town that features a wide variety of restaurants, taverns, and ancient inns, as well as a plethora of unique stores, antique emporiums, galleries exhibiting local artist paintings and pottery. Also, every week, on Wednesday mornings, there is a farmers’ market, and every Thursday there is a general market. During the summer of 2014, the town welcomed BBC film crews as they shot the TV series Mapp and Lucia, which has since been released on DVD. Nearby Camber Sands was used for all beach sequences, with additional filming done in Hastings and at the Tenterden Town train station. The wetlands around the Henry viii-built Camber Castle are a popular walking and birdwatching destination. Visit the neighbouring Camber Sands, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, or take a ride on a miniature or full-size steam train. Artists and photographers will love the wide-open spaces, meandering roads, and quaint villages with historic inns and tea houses. Excellent for unwinding and having fun on holiday.
