    Bridge Tavern

    Start with a pint at Bridge Tavern. It is a craft brewpub with over ten taps, so you can grab a drink and settle in before the walk. It opens at 12:00, so it is ready for you.

    Rolling Moon

    Walk to the Rolling Moon. The sculpture reaches 11 metres high, and the large steel ball catches the golden light perfectly as the sun sets toward the SW. Stand back to take in the full 27-metre span.
