Dinner at the George Inn. I had delicious mushroom arancini (deep-fried rice balls).

Beer on tap: the George Inn.

During the afternoon, we also drove down to the seacoast and also walked on the cliffs above the sea. Across from the seaside promenade, we had afternoon tea at a very retro-style hotel which reminded us of many of the recent TV adaptations of Agatha Christie mysteries. Though we enjoyed an hour of sitting in the extremely formal hotel and drinking tea/hot chocolate/coffee, we felt that a long stay might make one bored enough to commit a murder that only Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple could solve.
