Take the time to appreciate
To walk beside the river and enjoy the beauty of the greenery beside it is special when you know what the city has been through. Wonderful to see the cafe area that has sprung up alongside it in the centre of the city. Although this is an extremely busy part at times you don’t have to wander far to enjoy the river. Is great to grab some food from the many cafes and restaurants and sit closer to the water.

enjoyed strolling beside the small river
The little Avon River that winds it way through the town is very pleasant to stroll along. Just follow it through gardens as it flows under some interesting bridges and passes some great statues of prominent historic people. It reminded me soo much of streams that flow through some lovely English towns . Interestingly you can get a ride down the stream on a gondola , now that would be interesting . Visit and enjoy
