TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"For coffee, head across the road to Kismet at the bus station – a popular independent café that serves great sandwiches and bagels too. A short walk from the station, the Great Western is a characterful local pub with a good selection of ales – great for pre-departure drinks or meeting friends upon arrival. If you have a couple of hours to spare, Lockworks cinema is well worth seeking out – an independent cinema in a beautifully converted space."
