Grab a stone-baked pizza or an ice cream at Tower Café. It is open late enough to finish your snack comfortably before the light fades.
15:09
Walk to Baxterwood Court Park. This small park belonging to the PlacesForPeople association is the perfect vantage point. Find a spot where you can look toward the southwest.
16:09
Watch the sun set. On this date, the sun sets toward the SW at 16:09, casting a golden glow over the park for about an hour prior.

Head into the city centre to Crown Posada. This beautifully preserved 1880s pub is just a short walk away. Enjoy a real ale from a local brewery in the wood-panelled long room as the evening settles in.
Local tip
Tower Café serves fresh stone-baked pizzas and snacks until 19:00, giving you plenty of time to eat before the sunset. Crown Posada is open until midnight, so you can stay as long as you like after the walk.
