In the middle of the twelfth century, Rye was an important member of the medieval Cinque Ports confederation, it was almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Its historical connection with the sea included the provision of ships for the service of the Crown in wartime and participation in smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst gang used their ancient inns The Mermaid Inn (built 1156) and The Olde Bell Inn (built 1390), which are reputedly connected by a secret passage.

A beautiful isolated spot on Romney Marsh. Apparently, many years ago, a senior cleric got lost in the marshes and fell into a swamp. He promised god that if he was saved, he would build a church on the spot... Guess what? he was saved by a passing villager and hey ho - here is the church!

Rye is beautiful and the Cantii Way provides a nice little tour of the town, but watch out for the cobbles - they can be slippery and will shake your teeth out!
