Love this place for coffee or lunch. A large and light space to sit. A little wendy house in the corner keeps small people occupied. The farm shop has many treats to enjoy and the shop and garden centre are delightful.

It is a pretty town with the river flowing through it. A little busy around the road so after a wander in the town, take a trip down Church Street or head to The Tythe Barn where there is peace, quiet and historic places to be found. Great parks for children too.
