The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn is in the centre of Rye, at the bottom of Mermaid Street.
The pub was built in 1592, originally as a warehouse to store contraband seized from smugglers. It is now a characterful countryside pub/inn, with old beams and wooden floors and various areas to sit in and relax – the sunny end in the mornings to eat breakfast and read the papers, big tables for group Sunday lunches that last all afternoon or tea by the fireplace after a long walk on Camber Sands....
