About

Rye stands on a hill overlooking the River Rother and Romney Marsh, its medieval street plan and surviving gates like Landgate defining its historic core. The town's cobbled Mermaid Street, flanked by timber-framed houses, leads up to St Mary's Church with its working quarterboy clock. The area's geography has shifted over centuries, leaving the town now two miles from the open sea.

Winchelsea, a planned grid-town built on a hill after the original port was lost to storms, retains its three original medieval gates and large church of St Thomas the Martyr. The area is characterised by sheep-grazed pasture and former marshland, with the Royal Military Canal marking its western boundary. Underhill Lane provides a direct, elevated route between the two ancient towns.
