Timeline
18:29
Grab a drink and soak in the atmosphere at The Starry Plough. This lively leftist pub is just a short walk from the infoshop and a perfect place to start your evening before heading up the hill.
19:14
Walk to the Berkeley Rose Garden. Arrive about half an hour before sunset to find a good spot on the grounds. The garden offers a clear view of the bay and is especially nice for watching the sun set toward the WNW.
19:44
Watch the sunset. As the light fades, enjoy the view from the garden.
20:44
Return to The Starry Plough for the rest of the evening. Check their website for live music or poetry slams if you want to keep the night going.
Local tip
