You were literaly 3 minute walk to the Keiths Brewery, which is where the
Saturday farmers market is. The Five Fisherman is great, but depending on
what you get, you need to dip deep into the wallet. It should have been on

The cemetary is the one on Barrington St I think. It was used from approx
1750 to 1850. I was just in there the other day for the first time having a
look.
