There really is a lot on offer for everyone but it pays to be organised and plan ahead. As well as a broad selection of restaurants and coffee shops there are also good take aways to choose from and ever so popular farm shops where you can pick up local produce for your dinner. And if you are after something more adventurous, you can go strawberry picking, visit an animal sanctuary or spend a day as a Victorian forger.
