Exploring Historic Rye: A Walk Through Time on the South Coast of England (4K)

A walking tour of the ancient town of Rye in East Sussex. Once one of the medieval Cinque Ports and an important harbour, changes to the coastline and the course of the River Rother changed the town's fortunes and it became a haunt of smugglers. Many of the buildings in the town centre date from the 15th and 16th Century, including the charming Mermaid Inn which was rebuilt in 1420. The video includes Mermaid Street, Rye Castle and Ypres Tower, the River Brede, Romney Marsh, the River Rother, Martello Towers, WW2 pill boxes, and Rye Harbour and Beach.
