Dist:0.9km north<br/>An example of a very high-end shop, There are only a handful (15?) of similar outlets in the country, providing a wide range of optical products and repair. People will therefore make an effort to get here, but on Sundays the birdwatching stock is taken to bird reserves to reach more people, and give a better setting to test the equipment. Online ordering (http://www.kayoptical.co.uk/)also reaches more people, but there are some things you want to test first.
