Nice arts and crafts to be found there, and some great quirky details. We also really enjoyed the playground nearby - which was really good for older children.

It was a pleasure to see the old past of the town still surviving, not demolished all 'for progress' or redevelopment.

Worth a visit walking around the little victorian town, plenty to see and buy if one should choose to, also the penguins early morning.

A good experience.
Nice arts and crafts to be found there, and some great quirky details. We also really enjoyed the playground nearby - which was really good for older children.

Enjoyed the 1949 rugby game, walk through gardens and town with actors dressed up in period costume.
