    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.
