The Trout was one of my favorite places to visit outside of town. Situated alongside the Thames River, it has heated outside seating, and inside, you can sit fireside. Peacocks roam free around the grounds. It's completely breathtaking at sunset in the spring/summer. The food is hearty and good by pub standards. You just feel all warm and fuzzy sipping on a pint, hanging out with your friends. It's a great venue.
My friends and I took a walk along the riverbank after dinner one summer evening, and it was beautiful. There are swans everywhere. And across from the pub, there are the remains of what looks like an old church or convent. It's definitely worth a trip outside of town.
