    James Blake House

    Head to the James Blake House. Arriving right at opening gives you the quietest experience to admire the post-Medieval timber-frame construction before the afternoon visitors arrive.

    Singh's Roti Shop

    Walk three minutes to Singh's Roti Shop. Order a roti here; the portions are enormous and the staff are friendly enough to adjust spice levels to your taste.
