11.30am Off to church

A stroll along cobbled streets brings you to St Laurence’s Church, the largest parish church in the county. Dating back to the 11th century, this imposing structure is home to catacombs, stained-glass windows and a bell tower. If you can brave the narrow staircase, the tower rewards visitors with panoramic views.
