TOURISM INFORMATION
We'll be building up a list of places of interest local to The Bowler Pub and Kitchen that registered users can rate. This will help visitors to the area find the best places to go and might even provide some inspiration for us locals too. If you want more information on any of these, why not pop in and see us - we might have some further literature, advice or even discount tickets for some of them.
