A shoppers delight, with lots of independent and artisan shops, specialist markets and boutique finds you can while away hours roaming its pretty streets and perusing the local offerings.
Head down to the River Wye and stroll along its pretty banks, (you can go all the way to its neighbouring pretty village of Ashford), feed the ducks and scoff ice creams in the huge parkland next to the river.

Legend has it that the town's famous Pudding was created by mistake by a local cook in the mid-19th century. Today her delectable 'jam tart that went wrong' can be sampled at various bakeries and cafés and posted virtually anywhere in the world!
Bargains galore are on offer every Monday at the bustling outdoor market, and for an extra buzz, head for the livestock market to experience the action in the theatre-like auction ring.
