It serves mouth watering homemade meals, snacks and cake - mountains of delicious homemade cake! I can't resist a triangle of the lemon drizzle cake, it's the best I've ever tasted.

A lively and incredibly busy tapas bar in the centre of Old Town. Offers delectable tapas dishes and a great selection of drinks including draft Spanish beer. Try the berenjenas fritas (aubergine chips) and the calamares fritos (deep fried baby squid). In fact, you couldn't really go wrong with any of the food here as it's consistently good quality. The ambience is superb here too although some may say it's too busy!

Arts & Culture

An award winning museum which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The building itself is stunning, let alone it's fascinating history and the enormous and pristine locomotives which call it their home. A must see attraction.

87 miles of the national trail can be reached at several points from Marston Farm. The trail has used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers and passes through ancient landscapes through downland, secluded valleys and woodland. Simply stunning and definitely a place to feel at one with nature.

Shopping

Well, what can one say? If you can't find any bargains here I'd be surprised. There is also a nice American Diner and Wagamama's if you fancy a meal once you're 'shopped out'.
