Located in the gorgeous Warwickshire countryside, on the banks of the River Avon, the town is a busy place attracting people from all over the world to discover the history and culture and enjoy the shops, cafes, gastro pubs and upmarket restaurants. The centre boasts charming arcades and galleries to buy souvenirs and gifts.
