Technically, it was our road trip through Kent, England. Then we learned about the historic town of Rye, just over the border in Sussex. We couldn’t let an imaginary line stop us, and we’re glad we didn’t.
Stuck in time, Rye is like a time capsule. In the town center, aged Tudor buildings lean over the cobbled stone streets. Once home to pirates and smugglers, Rye is full of legends, ghost stories, and secret passageways. With low ceilings and crooked floors, even the local shops have tons of character.
In this post we explore what makes the tiny seaside town of Rye worth visiting, and what you’ll see while exploring its ancient, pebbled streets.
