Drinks & Nightlife

Above the gorgeous gig venue Small Seeds, this alternative bar is a hidden gem. Offering Ale, wine, spirits and cocktails as well as the best veggie pizza's we have ever had at £6 each! Really great vibe and friendly atmosphere. I love the red wine they serve here.

Sightseeing

Brilliant spot for a walk or picnic with really stunning views over the valley. A victorian tower that you can climb to the top of for a tiny admission fee with a very interesting history - including the gentleman who died on the first day it was open after waiting in the pub at the bottom for the crowds to go down before he climbed to the top (pub gone now!).
