The town owes its origins to the spring waters that were recognised to have healing properties; it was the Romans who first took advantage of this, but it was the Victorians who made their mark here. This heritage is paid tribute to by an annual festival when the town is transformed into a Dickensian wonderland for one week every August. Being a largely rural area, with outstanding natural beauty, this region is known for its walking and fishing opportunities.
