Walking
Visit Westons Cider, Hellens Manor and the church. A tour of the cider factory is well worth it especially the sampling afterwards. Hellens is the oldest Flemish brick house in the country offering tours. The church houses one of the most beautiful tombs of Blanche Mortimer youngest daughter of the infamous Roger. There are excellent walks in the surrounding area with wonderful views. There are three good pubs serving food and a café/restaurant at Westons
