On screen
How Rye appears
Rye is reported as Meryton for Netflix's 2026 Pride and Prejudice. National newspaper coverage identifies the town's transformation for the new adaptation, while VisitBritain describes filming activity and uses more cautious wording about the role. The connection belongs specifically to the series announced for 3 December 2026, not to the BBC's 1995 Meryton at Lacock or the 2005 film's version in Stamford. Individual episode scenes should be matched after their details are published rather than assigned from the town's general filming credit.
The real place
What you can visit
Rye's old town has cobbled streets, historic buildings and a compact pattern of lanes suited to exploring on foot. It is also an occupied Sussex town, with homes and businesses behind the period frontages. A production transformation is temporary, so shop signs, traffic arrangements and dressed streets seen during filming may not remain. Visit the town for its real streets and architecture, and treat the screen identity as one layer of the experience. Avoid identifying a particular private house as a character's home without a supported scene match.
Compare the townscape rather than expecting filming decorations to remain. A street cleared and dressed for a Regency scene returns to ordinary town use after the crew leaves.
The Australian: Netflix filming report ↗Rye has its own rail station, listed by National Rail as Rye in Sussex. The town council publishes current parking information, including the station car park and restrictions on central streets. Check a suitable walking route into the old town, where cobbles and slopes can affect accessibility. Drivers should use official parking rather than trying to stop in a narrow photographed lane.

Deal provides a second reported Netflix connection on the Kent coast, but it is a separate journey. Build a Kent and Sussex break with travel time, rather than assuming the two town centres are adjoining stops.
