A little bit further in there's an old-school disco with 70s and 80s music playing from tape recorders and old people having fun dancing.

Those not in the mood for dancing can walk a little bit further to the chess players' hut, where serious men ponder their next move while discussing the latest political developments over their beer.
It's all actually really nice to see and they don't mind you joining in at all, even if you're not their age.

The action usually starts around 4pm on weekends. It is more common in the warmer months from May to September.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3924 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3859

It's quite a large wooden house in the suburbs and there's plenty to see if you're an admirer of Russia's most famous novelist. My favourite is his bicycle, which he only learned to ride in his 80s, and there's also a photo of him riding it down the street outside. A must visit for me.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3888 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3860
