The Fish House - great Oyster Bar and fishmonger , tops for a light lunch whilst shopping.

The French Pantry - épicerie, café and bar, a welcome newcomer.

Stockton Bury Gardens - creativity and vision shine in this gorgeous garden.

Stokesay Castle - England's best fortified medieval manor house.

Walk the Wigmore Loop - part of the famous Mortimer trail.
