Entertainment & Activities

A must do, and just a whole lot of fun. More than just a historic old home, just packed full of stories and events that shaped the world. Take the tours, run by the Beafeaters. These are retired military and have all seen things, some none of us would like to see. Yet to meet a single one that is not incredible company.

A local store that may look very ordinary outside, but is very friendly and generally good value. Lovely people, plus a cafe for a quick bite to eat.
