Our visit to the historic Cinque port town of Rye in East Sussex

A walking tour around the historic medieval town of Rye in East Sussex.
We start the walk at the Landgate, the only remaining medieval city gate remaining, dating from 1329, and climb up East Cliff taking in the view over green fields that would have once been a coastline and a gateway to the English Channel.
Turning the corner, we head along Rye's High Street and take in the individual nature of the shops in Rye. We then detour up East Street to the English artist Paul Nash's home before rounding the corner into Market Street and discovering Rye's Townhall & Tourist Information Centre.
Passing the town hall we head up Lion Street to the Church of Saint Mary, Rye, and head around Church Square before moving on to the Ypres Tower, also known as Rye Castle, and taking in the views from the Gun Garden.
A stroll around the cobbled Church Square, passing homes built in the times of the Tudors, before heading onto West Street, where we find the National Trust Lamb House, once home to literary figures such as E.F. Benson & Henry James.
From here, we head down the beautiful Mermaid Street, said to be the most Instagrammed street in England, before popping into the historic Mermaid Inn and experiencing The Giant's Fireplace bar.
After our brief break, we continue down Mermaid Street to the Strand and its array of antiques & collectables stores in the former warehouses on Rye's quayside.
Finally, we return via The Mint and onto the High Street as the light starts to fall.
We complete our tour by returning to the Landgate at Dusk.
