I always chuckle when I hear my fellow Americans talk about historic buildings, usually a bit over 100 years old, and then see houses in UK, France, Italy, even Belgium, that are 500, 600, 700 years old and still inhabited ! Your videos are fabulous ! Thanks for sharing.

When we were new imigrants to Oz I think it was Sydney that was celebrating 200 years. I had a letter from my Mum in UK and the Stamp on the envelope was celebrating York 2000 years. It made me laugh.

​@garethmathew69Indeed there are, but there are very few existing buildings from the Seventeenth century in America, to be honest. I live in a house from 1590, for example. It's a house, tourists take photos, I only notice the age when I bang my head on door frames, or the oli slides to one side of the frying pan. Lol, Yes! America is the best! But maybe your annoyance that other countries have "lovelier things" or something else you don't have... comes from your British roots and sense of universal domination, superiority and entitlement??? ❤

Thanks for the memories! Got taken there and stayed at the Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ for my 50th. Our room was on the top floor. On the way up there the first time up many higgledee piggledee stairs; I stopped to catch my breath. I looked to my left as something caught my eye. It was a life size portrait of Queen Elizabeth the 1st looking right back at me. I wasn’t entirely sure it was just a painting for a few seconds; nearly fainted! 😆 Rye is just beautiful!

my grandfather Fred Tillman was born in West Street just around the corner from the Mermaid, the family were Rye Harbour fishermen and also manned the lifeboat Mary Stanford which went down all hands 1928. The family have lived fished and farmed in the area since Anglo Saxon times and although I only live a few miles from Rye I haven't been for nearly twenty years so I loved your walk around and all the info some of which I had forgotten.

When I was a young boy our family visited Rye in 1968 and I remember visiting the Mermaid Inn. Once we return back to California, in school I had written a report about my trip to England and especially about Rye. In 1989 my wife and I visited Rye. I do remember walking up those steep and narrow steps at St Mary’s and being rewarded with the panoramic view that summers day. I also enjoyed seeing that reconstructed model village of Rye from the 1830s there at the visitor center. I really enjoyed this video you made of Rye especially the background sound of the town when you were filming. Now I can’t wait till our next trip back to Rye and the surrounding area

Another great tour! Look forward to the 'spotlight' video. My friend visited Rye a number of years ago, and enjoyed it very much. For those old enough to remember, Patrick McGoohan played Dr. Syn, the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh in the 1963 Disney movie. It was based on Russell Thorndike's (1915 and subsequent) stories about smugglers in and around Rye. I always love to see half-timbered buildings in such great condition. I laughed when you said the Inn was not 'original', but had been reconstructed in 1620, 'after the fire'. Here in California we only have 'Mock-Tudor' houses, built in the 1920s. :)

Hi guys. From Australia. This was my first viewing of your channel & how appropriate it was...my Moon family started off in Rye, so I got to see what this beautiful little village looked like. Edmund Moon was born in 1780 to William Moon & Mary (nee Gascoin). During my research I remembered reading about how the ocean receded away from Rye... The family moved to Rolvenden, Kent. There son Thomas Moon & Amy (nee Lawrence) then immigrated to Australia in 1839, like so many other families, to get away from the Typhus outbreak. If you guys are ever or will be up around Rolvenden, Kent; I would love to see what it looks like & hear about it's history. I really like your presentation of Rye & look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you. Cheers Carol

Lovely to see, thank you! We'd never been to Rye before, & when we came home to England before the Pandemic, it was on our itinerary and we spent 3-nights there - went to Camber Sands, Dungeness, The Steam Railway, AMAZING Great Dixter, along with just about all the walks you showed - fortunately no sewer works at the time - there was a flower festival in St Mary's which was lovely. We actually ate at the Ypres Tower pub (we were staying under the cliff) as well as the Old Bell - really a delightful old town, I'd say you could spend a week there with plenty to explore in the town as well as 1-hr+ or so radius. Another lovely production. Can I suggest Mersea Island in Essex, as a rather unusual destination? Safe travels & thanks for sharing your talents.

The weekends especially in summer will be busy with visitors.

Rye is one of the most touristy places in East Sussex, where I lived for decades. Believe me, you are seeing it very quiet.

It's just that the Town Council have done an excellent job over the years in not allowing tacky commercialisation, and preserving the architecture.

As someone who lives here, I can confirm it's a very nice town. Sometimes it feels a bit isolated due to the lack of large brand stores, meaning you have to make do with what's present, but there is a small supermarket and some very pleasant places to dine at. The history preserved here is definitely my favourite part of it, I'm glad there's no McDonalds or KFC or anything and that most of the stores are family-run, it feels very down to earth and communal and there's less litter this way. Hastings is also a nice place to go when you want more to see, just a train ride away.

What a great job you did here and I felt like I was back in magical Rye. This video, others of yours and my 28 visits to England solidify my belief that I was really supposed to have been born there - but inexplicably and sadly wasn't.

Another great video - thank you very much. I vaguely remember Camber Sands from visiting as a small child - we had an old Austin 7 car & my dad knew all these places from his youth ! We lived in West Hampstead in London at the time. I'm 82 now lived in US for 40 years, but still enjoy watching these KZbin videos of UK places I will not be able to visit now ! This little town of Rye is very interesting & historic, I had no idea !
