Rye Village
The town center is a maze of tiny, steep cobbled streets lined with beautifully preserved medieval houses. If you take a meander along the most picturesque streets - Mermaid Street, Watchbell Street and Church Square - you'll come across houses declaring they were rebuilt and refurbished - in 1450. Many of the the oldest have steeply pitched tile roofs, tiny front doors and neatly maintained black oak timbers. Some have names rather than numbers: The House with Two Front Doors, The House With the Seat, The House Opposite.
The town stands on a hill where the limestone ridge of the mainland meets the flat stretches of Romney Marsh. St Mary's Parish church, begun in the 12th century, tops the hill. Climb the church tower for views of the sinuous flow of the Rother across the marshes where the delicious salt marsh sheep graze. The church's clock - installed as the "new" clock in 1561, is one of the oldest, still functioning church tower clocks in the country.
