Kishmish is DELICIOUS. Lovely grilled meats and halloumi, and a warm aubergine starter which I'm obsessed with. I've never eaten in - but it's BYOB so very good value - they deliver via their website/phone or via deliveroo

This place is extraordinary! Apparently it used to be a sewage facility - and they decommissioned it 20 years ago and turned it into this amazing reserve. There's a huge pond with ducks to feed and wild scrubland for wild birds, as well as kids playgrounds and football pitches. It's HUGE!

Arts & Culture
The museum I have visited most in my life. It's a Victorian collector's museum - filled with specimens and stuffed animals, as well as musical instruments, curios and an aquarium. Seasonal exhibits are always great and the gardens are gorgeous
