Guidebook for Heybridge
Food Scene
Wivenhoe
Close, good reviews.
This is a delightful tiny restaurant/ cafe / breakfast stop immediately opposite the Spirit of Tasmania on the edge of the river. In the evening you watch the Spirit turn around in the river, towering over the top of you. Great food, generous serves, great coffee, clean toilets and charming environment. Park near the info centre in Devonport in the paid carpark and you need to walk across to it - 200 m? probably. This is a charmer.

This is a a combination of antiques, collectables, imports, recycled and new items both by the owner and multiple stall holders. Its on 3 levels, free at the door car parking, and don't think you will escape in under an hour (or two!) Terrific wet day excursion for men and women.

Entertainment & Activities
This centre is fascinating and surprisingly interesting even if you don't think its your thing. There is a coffee shop here, and we went for 15 minutes and stayed an hour. Very professional display and nice on a wet day. Easy free street side parking.

Parks & Nature
In season, early spring, this is a must. Its stunning and surprisingly large and established. There is a coffee shop at the car park level for the less able, and the view is terrific from here. A workable visit if some want to walk and some can't. If you are a gardener then don't miss it.
