This engaging
town was once the seat of the West Saxon
kings. It was attacked by Danish pirates in
the 10th century and in 1052 was
burned by Harold, son of Earl Godwin. Today it
is a restless market place at the foot of a
steep hill with a small, boat-bobbing harbour.
Nearby, the village of Horner boasts a
Victorian water mill. |
