A fishing port with lovely little shops and great restaurants here, including The Riverside Bistro which serves wonderful homemade pies of all kinds 'from traditional steak and kidney to exotic vegetarian.

Try to plan your visit here on either a Monday or Friday to coincide with the fishing trawlers returning with their catch.
