You can cycle through the stunning countryside or dine in some of the area’s fabulous country pubs and restaurants, including the nearby Windmill Inn, which featured in scenes from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, in Redmile, or the popular 17th-century gastropub Chequers Inn, which serves great food and offers a fine dining experience.
