Chamber Garden Center is another gem! Micheal who owns the center has put river side seating and a coffee hut in which is open and free to use. If you make a coffee he has an honesty jar where you can leave a payment. It is bliss to sit and observe the wildlife and enjoy the peace in the center of town. it has great views of the & Arch bridges and you may even spot some kayakers going by.
