Wandering through its centre you'll notice buildings from the 13th century in different styles such as Flemish Baroque and Classicism.

You can take part in activities such as bowling, tennis, swimming, fitness and horse riding, or enjoy the tearooms, bistros or restaurants serving Belgian, Chinese, Greek, Italian or Egyptian food.

Adjoining Woodside B&B lies the Neo-Gothic castle of d'Aertrycke with its lake and beautiful park. You can wander freely in the grounds or eat in the restaurant 'Charbon', one of the gastronomical 'Passim Restaurants'.
