This pretty park is at the end of my road. A lovely walk on your way to the station or high street or a great for a picnic lunch in summer. There's a coffee kiosk open most days and 3 laps is equivalent to 1km if you want somewhere nice to walk or run.

This Italian is probably the closest restaurant to my place. It doesn't look the most appealing from the outside but it has a lively and friendly atmosphere. It is reasonably priced, is great for solo diners, and the pizzas are enormous.
