The small town of Rye, in East Sussex, England, now stands approximately two miles from the open sea and is at the confluence of three rivers: the River Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times, however, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel and almost entirely surrounded by the sea.

  • The small town of Rye, in East Sussex, England, now stands approximately two miles from the open sea and is at the confluence of three rivers: the River Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times, however, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel and almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Rye is officially a civil parish but with its historic roots has the status of a town; it has a population of 4009 (2001 census). During its history its association with the sea has included being involved with smuggling gangs of the 18th and 19th centuries. Those historic roots and its charm make it a tourist destination, and much of its economy is based on that: there are a number of hotels, guest houses, B&B's and restaurants, as well as other attractions, catering for the visitor. There is a small fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels. A known demonym for the people who live in the town is 'Ryers' and in Sussex they are sometimes referred to as 'Mud Heads'.
  • Rye ist eine Kleinstadt in der Grafschaft East Sussex im Südosten Großbritanniens. Es gehörte einst zum Städtebündnis der fünf englischen Kanalhäfen. Der Ort wurde im Laufe der Geschichte oft angegriffen und zerstört, so 1377 durch die Franzosen. Mit dem Austrocknen des Hafenbeckens begann auch der wirtschaftliche Niedergang. Heute ist Rye eine viel besuchte Touristenattraktion, die sich ihren mittelalterlichen Charakter bewahren konnte. Rye liegt heute circa 3,2 km vom Meer entfernt, gehört zum Distrikt Rother und zählt etwa 4.600 Einwohner.
  • Rye és un petit poble situat dalt d'un turó a East Sussex, Anglaterra, regat pel riu Rother, i a la vora occidental del Walland Marsh, part dels Romney Marshes. L'any 2001 tenia 4.600 habitants. La seva economia depèn fonamentalment del turisme a causa de la seva importància històrica. Amb els seus carrerons costeruts i tortuosos, el barri vell, cenyit per ruïnoses muralles i situat dalt d'un penya-segat, ofereix una gran riquesa de materials de construcció i inesperades vistes de la campanya circumdant. A Strand Quay un espectacle de llum i so acompanya la presentació d'una maqueta de Rye (Rye Town Model) que evoca el passat. A Mermaid Street destaquen edificis com Mermaid Inn (la posada de la Sirena - segle XV), famós per haver estat el cau de cruels contrabandistes.
  • Rye est une petite ville d'Angleterre bâtie au sommet d'une colline surplombant la rivière Rother, dans le comté du Sussex de l'Est. Elle fut au Moyen-Âge un port de mer important. Rye perdit son importance quand elle cessa d'être un port à la suite d'un recul de la mer qui repoussa le bourg 3,2 km à l'intérieur des terres. Compte tenu du passé de cette localité, l'économie locale dépend de manière essentielle du tourisme.
