Rye Castle Museum - Ypres Tower

The pictures are of Rye in general and not just the Ypres Tower and museum. Rye is an essentially English, charming and historic medieval town and well worth a two hour or so wander. Plenty of parking available just outside the town centre. Recommended for lovers of history and of half timbered and quaint old buildings. Not ridiculously busy despite fine weather and the school holidays.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the town or passing the area. Although the museum is small it really has some interesting content not just on the history of the castle but of the local people /areas as well. The view from the tower is worth the entrance fee on its own.

This imposing castle was only a few minutes' walk from our hotel when visiting Rye, and we passed it several times. The entrance fee was reasonable and there are displays inside about the history of the castle. One gets fine views from the castle to the River Rother and the surrounding landscape if you can manage to climb the stairs. Below the castle is a lovely Gud Garden with some ancient cannons on display.

Interesting visit to a 13th century built castle, covers it's history through the years including it's usage and meaning to the local community

Small but interesting as it packs a thousand years into that space. Skeleton in a gibbet is a standout. It was very busy due to the torrential rain so I hope they made some money!

Small but packed with information on the various historical phases of the place, charming garden and lovely view over the green surroundings.

It was great going through the castle. It's great learning about the history.

Nice small museum. Only pay for adults so perfect at killing time on a windy day. Would have explored outside abit more if i5 was warmer
