    Buy

    [edit]

    The High Street is narrow and can be a little annoying with traffic but contains a number of interesting individual privately owned shops rather than the national chains you find in many towns.

    Eat

    [edit]

    Check out the pies from the butchers on the High Street. The Burton Hotel (see below) has a good restaurant.
