A small museum is located in a deconsecrated church. There’s a lovely courtyard with rare plants and a table service café.

I think the best thing to do is to go for lunch and expect to have a short wander round afterwards, unless you’re there for a particular exhibition.

You can also go up the medieval tower but beware the staircase is narrow and winding!

£15.00 - Children £8.50
