These include the award-winning Williams Food Hall, the famous Hobbs House Bakery, artisan boutiques, gift shops, cafés and an impressive selection of well-regarded restaurants and pubs. The town also benefits from supermarkets, free parking and excellent educational facilities within the town and surrounding area, including both highly regarded state and independent schools.
