    The Tobie Norris

    Grab a pint at The Tobie Norris. The building dates to 1280 and was once a bell-foundry. It is dog-friendly but bans prams and pushchairs. The timber-beamed ceilings set a historic tone before you head out.

    St Leonard's Priory

    Walk to St Leonard's Priory. The exterior of the bricked-up nave was rebuilt in the 19th century and features a fine west front. Arrive early to find a spot where the setting sun illuminates the stone.

    The Mad Turk

    Head to The Mad Turk for dinner. It serves good Turkish Cypriot food and is open until 23:00 on weekdays. The lively atmosphere provides a perfect end to the evening.

Local tip

The Tobie Norris is open from 12:00, so you can arrive for your pint well before sunset. The Mad Turk is open from 17:00 on weekdays, ensuring it is ready when you finish watching the light fade.
