Once the site of the Roman fort of Vindomora, now the village offers a range of pubs and restaurants. Enjoy views of National Trust woodland from the house and take picturesque walks along the river following the Red Kites trail, spotting local wildlife in the water and skies and break for lunch in one of the pubs or cafes along the way.
