Rye – England’s Storybook Town

#westerneurope
Rye is a little gem on England’s south coast, full of cobbled lanes, timber-framed houses, and charm in every corner. Wander up Mermaid Street, one of the prettiest in the country, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The town is packed with cosy tearooms, antique shops, and quirky bookstores, plus a medieval church with views over the rooftops. Rye Castle Museum and Ypres Tower tell tales of its smuggling past. Just a short trip from London, it’s perfect for a slow-paced day out — whether you’re sipping tea, browsing shops, or just soaking up the fairytale atmosphere.
