Jay and I love popping in here to see what wares they have. Stock changes really regularly, the tunes are always great and there are so many second hand books to discover. Put aside a couple of hours and enjoy a homemade baked treat. You’ll really like this place if you like vintage stuff.

Great local brewery. They brew all their own beers and you can take your own food. It’s pretty small but there is seating outside.

This is a local hidden job and a must visit. I (Nic) volunteer at the museum on Sunday's so might see you there!
The cheese scones are fantastic, you can get an afternoon tea for £15 and the collection is Royal Academy standard.
There's a guidebook under the coffee table.

Perfect place to watch the sunset, it’s the highest place in the area. You can easily cycle here or go by electric scooter although you can’t take bikes or scooters right to the top. If you make it here, be sure to check out Mudeford Beach huts too. Take some beers.

Brilliant bakery, worth walking to in the morning. It’s like a little french patisserie in the most unexpected place. Delicious sourdough, tarts and other sweet treats. A must visit.
