The 'Lobster Pot (or trap) Tree' is a Canadian tradition that, in this instance, has made its ways to the shores of south England.

It's basically old lobster traps that have been recycled and remade into a festive decoration, fit with tinsel and baubles. The tree only resurrects each year around Christmastime, but there's still plenty to do and see around this area year round, including a great pub next door, The Rising Sun.
