Unique and beautiful-the historic Cinque port of Rye from the top of St. Mary's Church Tower, East Sussex, England.

Commentary.

 

From St. Mary’s Church Tower

this north-westerly view takes in

an elegant Georgian dwelling, in pink,

part of the amazing Mermaid Street,

with its incredible array of perfectly preserved

Tudor and pre-Tudor cottages and Hostelries

on a medieval, cobbled street,

Rye Windmill and farmland

to the north of Winchelsea.

The U.K. has many unique towns and cities:-

St. Ives, Cornwall,

Ludlow, Shropshire,

London,

Edinburgh,

Bath,

Plockton, West Coast of Scotland.

Tobermory, Isle of Mull,

Portmeirion, North Wales,

Tenby, Pembrokeshire,

to name but a few.

Rye must be included.

The sea-port on cliffs

surrounded by land,

is now a river-port

on the River Rother,

and a place I never tire of visiting.
