About
A genuine cluster of antiques dealers and independent shops through the old town on The Mint, the High Street and Cinque Ports Street, from French decorative antiques and interiors to a second-hand record shop and a haberdashery. Rye has been a byword for antiques shopping in the South East for decades, and browsing the shopfronts is as much a Rye activity as any single attraction.
