The town was formed in the 13th century to place the older settlement which had been at sea level and was lost to erosion. Today perched on the top of it's ridge the town has commanding views over the countryside, and a fine collection of old buildings, set in a grid pattern around the church at the centre, and with three of the four original town gates still standing.
