A charming mosaic of history, culture, and natural beauty, Rye is a place that has been moulded by the elements and enriched through time. Historically a member of the Cinque Ports federation, this ancient town was once almost entirely surrounded by sea.

Wandering through Rye's quiet, winding lanes, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time with its unique, medieval charm.

Coupled with its wide selection of accommodations, Rye offers guests a truly authentic and charming English hospitality.

When to visit Rye

The best time to visit Rye is during the summer months – particularly late July, when the average temperature is a balmy 22.3°C. From the bloom of spring, the warm English summers, to the palette of autumn colours, Rye's undeniable charm is present all year round. However, the summer season allows your visit to coincide with some festivals and special events in the town, adding a whole new element to the experience.

March proves an attractive time to visit too, with the town being at its quietest whilst offering the lowest chance of precipitation. On the flipside, Rye can also be enchanting in November, when the town emerges to a morning of misty, dew-covered landscapes, although it also happens to be the most humid month. For those who are attracted to the quieter periods, spring offers a slower-paced charm with great deals on accommodations. Whichever time of the year you choose to visit, Rye promises an experience to cherish forever.
