This is really about the market.it's pretty incedible. Huge!!!…read moreThere are so many stalls (all under cover) that you really can't take it in at one go. Needs several visits.

You don't need to leave lots of dosh behind, browsing is fun. And theres a couple of good pubs just nearby!

We were surprised to learn that the shopping centre closes at 6pm every day - no late night shopping fans in this sleepy town on the river bliss. A town with a heck of a lot of old folks shuffling around. The town was recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book when it was called the village of Straburg, and it was recorded as having 24 households, well endowed with land, particularly arable ploughlands, and rendering 8 pounds sterling to its feudal lord a year - hundreds of years before the arrival of employers and employees

There are loads of clothes shops like New Look and Peacocks which do great clothes at great prices!! There is a Marks & Spencer food hall, as well as a fantastic fruit and vegetable store where you can get all your fresh groceries. There is also a cute sweet shop which sells all your old favourites.
