Andrew’s guidebook
Art
A wonderful collection of paintings, flemish landscapes in particular but also a worthy sample of 19th and 20th century paintings. There is always something different to look at, they also have some excellent temporary exhibitions.
I also particularly like the ceramics and Egyptian antiquities.
Also a good cafe.

Pubs
Superb beer, brewed on the premises in a quirky set of old industrial buildings next to the railway. A little hard to find but worth it.
