A Trip to RYE and Staying at THE MERMAID INN | 1066 Country

- Continuing my journey in 1066 Country in East Sussex, I make a return to Rye spending two Nights staying at the Famous ‘Mermaid Inn’ so I can explore the History and Heritage of this stunning Medieval Town. Rye was an important Member of the Cinque Ports Confederation and the Protection of the Town was important due to the Commerce that Trading brought. I Wander around the Main Town Visiting St Mary’s Church and it’s Tower, the 13th Century Ypres Tower (where we did a Paranormal Investigation back in 2010), take a little Tour of ‘The Mermaid Inn’ and of course, have some delicious Pub Dinners!

Really enjoyed this Marq. What a lovely place steeped in history. Travelled through Rye a couple of times. Such a throughly enjoyable presentation!!! 😊 😊 😊
Thanks Tracey.
rye is such a wonderful place ,, ive been there many times ,, so much history to see
Lovely town. Loads of history. Visited the place many years ago back in the 1990's. Thanks for another great and informative video.
Thanks Jason.
That was an absolute joy to watch from beginning to end Marq. I've only ever made fleeting visits to Rye, clearly my loss and something I must put right.
Thanks Nigel, it really is a special place!
Enjoyed this very much.
Thank you.
Oh those Frenchies! Still, it is a remarkably picturesque place. I visited it last year and loved it, though the pub lunch was not especially good, big disappointment to say the least (i think it was in the Standard). Glad you found Paul Nash's house and plaque. Loved the house with two front doors, reminds me of a Beatles film where each member enters their own front door only to find themselves in one huge room! Probably the most photogenic town. Every way you turn make you want to photograph the view.
Thanks Andrew, such a wonderful Town to visit and I think I crammed a lot in on this Trip.
@@MarqEnglish You sure did, m'Man!
Thank you Marq for a very interesting and informative vlog around Rye. Never had enough time to explore Rye but I recognised a lot of it! And I’m so jealous of you staying in the Mermaid Inn!
Thanks Claire, to be honest I thought The Mermaid Inn would be more expensive.
Great video 📷 keep up with the good work 👍
I’ve shared this to Bonny’s England 🏴
Thank you Bonny.
I remember very little of Rye, I camped at Camber Sands with the girl guides many many moons ago!! Too many to remember!! The Mermaid Inn looked lovely, all the creaky floors! Fabulous!
The Mermaid Inn was really unique!
My favourite place ,so many happy memories staying at the mermaid .Rye is just like stepping back in time .
I love all your films Marq, but this one is my favourite.
What a lovely place and you showcased it so well.
The hotel looks like a fascinating place to stay; reminds me a little of when Rich and I stayed at Hever Hotel, once part of the estate of the 13th century Hever Castle, childhood home of Anne Boleyn. So much history it takes your breath away. Lovely views from the church tower too, just fabulous!
Thank you so much for showing us around 🥰
Thanks Lynn, I'm rather happy with this Video.
@@MarqEnglish Rightly so Marq, and proud, it's great! 🥰
What a lovely video. Thankyou! I’ve stayed at the Mermaid a lot, it’s our happy place
Thank you. Love The Mermaid Inn too.
I'm enjoying this so much. Don't want it to end. Thanķ you so much. Lovely mùsic also. Corinne. Brighton
Thank you, it was a lovely Trip.
Hi Marq, thanks for sharing your trip to lovely Rye. About 18 years ago my wife and I got a great low season mid week 2 night dinner, B&B deal in the Mermaid . The first night while enjoying a nightcap in the bar we were entertained by the night porter who told us tales of the ghosts and smugglers, your video has evoked fond memories of that trip and plan another early winter. Keep well mate.
Cheers Danny, I'm glad to have jogged the memories.
well these days the "ghost" is probably more likely to be an illegal immigrant bursting into your bedroom with a machete shouting ALLAHU AKBAR!!
Did you sample Simon the Pieman's cakes?
Rye is a well known tourist destination so not surprised the High Street was busy.
I'm learning from you and previously Richard Vobes, to get out of my car and walk.
You say your room was small but I bet it was cozy.
Didn't know that the power station in Dungeness was used in films - you're a mind of useless information ha ha.
Really enjoyed this video, a place I must return to asap
Thanks Cathy, I didn't try any of the Cakes as I was Fasting and I'm actually not a big Cake lover.
@@MarqEnglish I'm not supposed to eat cakes either as I'm diabetic.
Mentioning Dungeness brings me back to my childhood days on the little steam trains of the RH&DR.
Lovely to see all those old buildings still standing in Rye. Did you eat breakfast at the hotel? Was it good?
@@cathybonner9437 I did have Breakfast just once as I'm just not hungry in the morning.
@@MarqEnglish full English or something else? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day supposedly. I eat a lot of eggs and today I cooked a mushroom omelette. I also like avocado and muesli or porridge
@@cathybonner9437 That's actually a Myth invented in the early 20th Century as a Marketing Tool for Kellogg's I believe.
I've been lucky enough to have had several days out in Rye. There's always something different to discover and enjoy. Another great video Marq 😃
Many thanks Bob.
Thanks Marq. That was really good. A comprehensive tour of the town and it's lovely buildings. Loved the interior of the Mermaid and Ship Inns. They both looked very cosy and welcoming. So many famous people seemed to have lived there in the past. Of course, the cobbled streets would have been done for horses, to give their hooves some grip. Yes I know they are difficult to walk on!
We're getting used to you and your old doors. Now I have to touch and mention your name. Hope you don't mind, as I will give your channel a mention. We have our next video coming out at the end of the week, Cardiff Castle, so if you're happy, I'll mention your name and interests on the video. Bye for now and happy exploration.
Thanks, such an incredible Town is Rye. I was only there two Nights but packed a lot in (Ypres Tower will be the next Video).
Thank you for this! I´ll be heading Rye on january and just made reservations at the mermaid inn! You´re video was great. Love from Brazil!
I'm sure you will have an amazing Trip Nathalia, it's such a beautiful Town.
Thank you for a wonderful vlog. So glad you came up on my feed. Rye is a place I now must visit. I really appreciate your content.
Thanks for your kind words, Rye really is a magical place to Visit.
Amazing, Rye is about 30 miles from home and I have barely scratched the surface. Been a couple of times, must remedy that especially as some of my favourite books are based there. Mapp and Lucia of course and a set of genealogical novels have the hero of the books, Morton Farrier living at the House with two front doors, written by Nathan Dylan Goodwin. They are all based in and around East Sussex.
Incredible place to visit.
Love your videos Marc rye is 30 mins from bexhill were I live love going there that's the problem do look at the history of the building and just walk on by 😢 hate the seagulls and pigeons though lol...have you done st peters church and the Manor barn yet in bexhill
I've never been to Bexhill but it's on the List.
Thank you for a fascinating video. The last time my own family was in Rye was in the early 1600's before they set off for Connecticut. (Earlier they were in Winchelsea...Thanks for that vid, too, and Robertsbridge.)
Thanks John, much appreciated.
Fabulous video Marq… I visited for the first time last year but only for the day…clearly so much more to see…. As a massive Tudor fan it felt like you were walking in their shoes, with date plaques everywhere… loved it , thankyou 😊
There is something special about Rye- so ancient. I can remember walking past a v.small gap between buildings there with steps going down what was a steep slope. There was a plaque there saying that this was where the French .had landed in the 14th C. : the sea in those days coming right up to the walls of the town. I wonder if it’s still there now? Thank goodness they gave in the end. Very enjoyable video!🙂
Whoops * up not in!
Thanks Diana, it really is a special place isn't it?
Yes pleased you chose to visit 1066 country! Thanks
Mermaid inn is a wonderful hotel. Really enjoyed my stay there last year. Shame there were no haunted happenings during my stay :D
Nor me but wasn't expecting there to be.
Couldn’t get more English than rye
Indeed.
did you see the ghost?
Nope!
Is that the royal 'WE' you keep talking about, lol ?
It is haunted apparently. Looks lovely but don't think I am brave to stay the night 😅
As I always say (and in the Video) I don't think anywhere is 'haunted', I think Spirit and Ghosts or whatever you want to call it is everywhere.
