There are so many beautiful old buildings in Rye that it's difficult to know where to start; every cobbled street lends itself to being photographed and almost every building seems to have been the home of a famous artist or writer: notable residents of the town have included Paul Nash, Henry James, E F Benson and Radclyffe Hall.
Walking around the town really is like stepping back in time, and the remnants of its more recent past that remain in the form of old advertisements for long-forgotten brands, lend it a quaint and quirky atmosphere that's unmistakeably English - almost like one of E F Benson's novels in fact.
