The town (sic) of Rye has changed very little over the past 250 years because it isn't really on the way to anywhere. It sits on a hill in the middle of a huge, pancake-flat reclaimed marsh now used for grazing thousands of sheep. The reason why Rye still has a railway station (on the Marshlink Line between Hastings and Ashford) is because the local road network is so poor. The medieval Mermaid Inn is well worth a visit. If I'm travelling by train between Chichester and Canterbury I break my journey at Rye so that I can call in at the Mermaid for lunch.
Thank you for taking us along with you on your outings. I enjoy your clam quiet manner. Looking forward to another trip with you. PS thanks for the lovely recipes.
Kirsten and Jorg---I am SO thankful for these lovely videos! You may not have any idea how many of us in other countries would absolutely LOVE to visit these villages---but cannot. And yet you two---are taking us there--and we can enjoy it vicariously through you. Many, many thanks! ♥
Perfectly said, Margie Tucker. That is exactly what I was feeling as I watched this video. Also, what absolutely AMAZED me is that such historically important places like this are devoid of CROWDS, which is so unusual here in America! It seemed so peaceful...
@@ultraviolet13881 - Rye, on the border between the southern English counties of Kent and Sussex, isn't really on the way to anywhere. The pretty little town sits in splendid isolation on top of a sandstone hill surrounded by miles of pancake-flat sheep pasture (Romney Marsh) whose human inhabitants were either drowned by the sea surges of the late 12th Century, or killed by the virulent Malaria epidemics of the mid 17th Century. Rye retained its railway station (on the Marshlink Line between Hastings and Ashford) because the road network in the area is so poor that a substitute public 'bus service could not be provided. During the Middle Ages the French kept sailing over and burning the place down, which is why Rye was eventually walled and gated. The town used to stand at the edge of the sea but now it's two miles from the nearest beach.
Blown away (again) just love Rye…huge links with Mapp and Lucia (EF Benson) Kirsten you would simply love those stories. Magnificently televised in the eighties… for me Rye is all Mapp & Lucia xxx happy travels x
Absolute delight. You two are great...and very inspiring. I love watching your videos...and they are filmed and edited so professionally. Love the attention to detail. I'm a native of UK...but always feel refreshed watching your videos, I love that you take us on trips to lovely places. It's like having a day out...after being at work. You bring back memories of holidays in the country etc.. I have enjoyed myself...but you both give us more to enjoy. Thank you..for all the money, time and effort you spend to bring us a great time. You make me smile. 😊 Very well done.
That was just beautiful,l knew you would stop for a cuppa and a cake, thanks alot for your lovely videos take care of yourselves love from Ann Italy 🇮🇹🥰👍
Loved your video. Since leaving UK, I miss my weekend getaways, but Rye is truly a pretty area. Its so much fun going out on the excursions with you both, I really appreciate it since I cant be there myself!...Thank you !!!
Yes we have stayed at the Mermaid but never visited Lamb House. We have always been in Rye during the winter so perhaps it was simply closed at that time. Next time we go I will check the opening times. Kirsten, as usual you are wearing a lovely dress which suits you perfectly.
I've stumbled upon your TH-cam channel..you are a pleasure to watch.. I love all of the lovely locations you visit. I'm going to try to make the soda bread!! thankyou for such lovely content ..best wishes from Canada xxoo
How very very charming! I want to know, did you go back for Jorg to get his favorite beer? Somehow the town reminds me a bit of Victoria B.C. We live in WA State in the US and the closest to England we will ever get is just over the border to Canada. You two love-birds! You seem like newlyweds all the time, wherever you go, enjoying life and special moments together.I had almost forgotten how on our visit to “little England” as newlyweds half a century ago, my husband bought a six pack of Apple Jack to take home. I hope Jorg got his beer!! Thank you for sharing your adventure today. 💕from🇺🇸.
I live in Hastings not far from rye I hope one day you come here we have a lovely old town you both love it plus St Leonards is up and coming it's like Camden town this has happened over the years. Love your video love sent to you lovely people.
Oh I really enjoyed this! We were in Rye a few years ago for our son’s wedding. We stayed in a very tall old house on the Main Street. There wasn’t a straight wall or floor in the place it was so old, and there were beams and wood panelling everywhere. The legal ceremony for the wedding was at the town hall and included a town crier who was in full coat and hat, ringing his bell and announcing the marriage as he walked with the wedding party to a nearby hotel for the reception! Rye will always have a special place in our hearts x
Thanks for the tour of Lamb House. I just finished reading The Master, a novel about James and the years he spent in Rye. Great book and it was fun to see the house and beautiful garden he enjoyed so much.
Seit ich euch, ihr Lieben, entdeckt habe gibt es täglich ein Video von Kirsten und Jörg für mich zu sehen! Wie inspierierend, informativ, lehrreich und entspannend, besonders an einem Regentag wie heute! Ich liebe es! Und danke für die persönliche Antwort, das hat mich überaus gefreut!! Noch dazu in deutscher Sprache, wie nett von Ihnen! Einen schönen Sonntag aus Wien wünscht von Herzen Karin
I think each time I watch an episode yes that is where I shall retire and now we have Rye. Yes it’s settled. So lovely. Thank you for another literary destination Lamb House. I have never read Henry James though I remember my sister being enthralled with Portrait of a Lady. ❤
I have been to Rye. I bought a blue skirt there, but I gave it to my British sister- in- law. Rye is very walkable. I am sure I visited that chocolate shop! Thank you, as always, for bringing your viewers along. I loved the pink house and your teatime looked lovely! I look forward to your videos, even though I see them out of order from when you filmed them. I might see a recent one, then view one from two years ago, then see one from a year ago. But the experience is always great!
Pretty old village made even prettier by the beautiful background music
Thank you
