This is a fascinating little sea side village. Built as a Victorian holiday resort, it has retained its quirky charm. The boating lake is fun.

This is my happy place. It’s a privately owned nursery within a walled garden where you can sit and listen to the birds. On a warm sunny day it feels like heaven. I take a drink, a snack and a good book. (They do have a little summer house with a hot drinks machine). I always end up buying lots of plants.
