Rye, Market town in East Sussex, England.
Situated between three rivers, Rye features narrow cobblestone lanes, medieval houses with curved timber frames, and ancient stone buildings along sloping streets.
Originally positioned directly on the sea, Rye served as one of England's primary defense ports until the harbor became unusable due to sedimentation in the 19th century.
The Georgian-style Lamb House, now managed by the National Trust, functioned as the residence of novelist Henry James from 1898 to 1916.
The Rye Heritage Centre provides maps, guided tours, and a sound and light show explaining the town's maritime history through a detailed town model.
The Mermaid Inn on Mermaid Street contains secret passages and priest holes from its days as a smugglers' headquarters during the 1730s and 1740s.
