ANGEL GATE is a charming courtyard tucked
away from the bustling streets. Beneath The
Angel Hotel’s timber-framed facade, cobblestones lead to a handful of shops, a café, and a
restaurant. Stepping into this serene space feels
like a mini-vacation, where time slows down,
offering a peaceful escape from the ordinary.
THE SHAMBLES, steeped in history, was once
home to butchers’ slaughterhouses where
cattle from the High Street market were driven
in until 1865. Amidst its historic backdrop,
today you can discover inviting outdoor
seating, delightful eateries, and a friendly
family-run carpet shop. Stepping into The
Shambles, you’re transported through time,
where the past meets the present in this
historic alleyway.
