The town centre, which can be reached on foot in less than 10 minutes, offers all the normal amenities you would expect from a bustling market town, including two supermarkets, an M&S Food Hall, a medical centre, a cinema, a leisure centre and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. There is always plenty to do, with several festivals being held throughout the year, the South-West.
