Write Review“Nice Market Town with History”
by Laura Reed – June 2025The castle is obviously the big draw, especially with the kids, but the town itself is just as lovely. The high street has a mix of independent shops, and Barter Books inside an old station was a real highlight for me. There's a proper market town feel, and it never felt too busy or touristy. We spent the whole day here and easily could've stayed longer.
Is it easy to park here?
Is this a place good to visit on a rainy day?
