Rye, East Sussex

This picturesque market town is home to the enchanting cobbled Mermaid Street, the impressive Norman Church of St Mary’s and a rich selection of antique and specialist shops.

Here’s our recommendation of what to see and do whilst visiting...

Mermaid Street & Historic Streets - Take time to explore the surrounding cobbled lanes and hidden corners — there’s charm around every turn.

Wander along the famous Mermaid Street, one of the most photographed streets in England.
Lined with timber-framed houses, crooked windows, and historic inns, it offers a true glimpse into Rye’s medieval past.

Rye Harbour & Riverside Walks - It’s the perfect place to enjoy some fresh air and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

Take a gentle walk towards Rye Harbour, where you’ll find peaceful scenery, open skies, and plenty of wildlife.

St Mary’s Church Tower Views - It’s well worth the effort for one of the best viewpoints in the area.

Climb the tower at St Mary’s Church for stunning panoramic views across Rye, the countryside, and out towards the coast.

Independent Shops, Tearooms & Pubs

Rye is full of independent shops, antique stores, and charming tearooms.
Browse for unique gifts or relax with a cream tea or lunch in one of the many cosy cafés or traditional pubs dotted around the town.
