Go with the flow
Based in a town largely bypassed by the 20th and 19th centuries where the skyline is dominated by the Norman tower of the abbey church and the streets are an essay in the Tudor and Georgian styles.
Details
Walking along the narrow alleys that lead off these streets is a journey back into medieval times and, together with the old mills and the impressive stonework of the church, makes a good day out itself. It is also a fine base for a selection of riverside walks that visit a battlefield, a Saxon chapel, a village green (with cricket pitch) and a vast selection of inns. Attractions : John Moore Countryside Collection, Town Museum, southern England’s oldest Baptist chapel, boat trips on the rivers.
