Rye Tours and Tickets

Rye—once home to Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and HG Wells—is a must-visit for literature fans.

Animal lovers should make a note to visit the Rye Harbour Coastal Reserve, a hotspot for rare British birds.

There are usually guided tours of Camber Castle on the first Saturday of the month in summer.

Rye is known for ceramics, so be sure to pick up some hand-painted pottery while you’re in town—the "Sussex Pig" is a classic design.

Medieval Rye is known for cobbled streets and narrow sidewalks so may not be fully wheelchair or stroller accessible.
