Free Trade Inn
Access the public rooms of a traditional 19th century small urban pub. It is a Grade II listed
building and is one of CAMRA's "Historic pub interiors of national importance". It retains a good Edwardian pub frontage. The pub was refitted around 1910 and has a very unusual layout. The pub bar at the front is wood panelled and has its original bar counter. The front window is stained glass.
Near the top end of Castlegate on the left hand side.
From Bell Tower to Bastion (Walk)
"I must admit the new wall is marvellous beautiful", was an opinion voiced to Queen Elizabeth about the bastioned fortifications in
1568... Before condemning them as badly designed and a waste of money!
