What we did: TOP 15
1. Ghost bus
The only "comedy-horror theatre experience on wheels", in the uk. I would say that sums it up! It was a good giggle, and informative too as it took around all the top haunted sights.
2. Devils advocate
We asked the bartender to suggest a good local whiskey and whatever he gave us was delicious!
3. Pumpkin brown brekkie
Vegan café and we both had the smoothie bowl , mmmmm
4. Vennel
A cute little passage for a little photo stop!
