Drinks & Nightlife

The Lansdown is the local pub and what a local! Cosy log fires in the winter, outside cinema in the Summer...you are always sure of a warm welcome here. The pub serves a cracking roast on a Sunday but get there early if you want the full choice.

Small but perfectly formed, this Victorian shopping arcade was first opened in 1878. Great for a wander around the mix of independent shops on a rainy day.

Dating back to 1859, this is the oldest lido in the country. Have a swim, steam and laze in their outdoor hot tub. It's a members club but there are plenty of day packages to choose from. We'd recommend the swim, tapas and wine for great value (and the food is fabulous!) or Monday - Friday you can swim and steam from 1pm - 4pm for a bargain £20. It's the place for a treat and relax!
