A 15 minute walk from Sunnybank, or park in the car park and take a circular walk taking in 2 dams, before enjoying the (dog) friendly pub. Great pie, tasty roasts and a nice beer garden. Always has a good vegetarian option. Somehow combining the traditional pub with a contemporary interior and menu. Our ‘go to’ for a relaxed, sociable Sunday lunch.

A real jewel in the crown, the YSP is worth a visit rain or shine. Fabulous parkland with an incredible selection of sculpture to enjoy - or just enjoy the views, the lake and the woodland walk. A rainy day could be spent indoors here, the long gallery always has an interesting exhibit - and the coffee shop is worth a visit too. Taste locally made ice cream from the kiosk close to the car park.
