What people say
Nice clean and tidy walk way along side of the river
Great place to relax by the river
Awesome place for a light stroll. The bank protects the city center from river flooding. It’s picturesque. A very calming place to be. The shopping street is quite but many shops are present. It is nice cozy town.
I found it to be on the short side for a walk. It was pleasant enough though same there are many cafes servicing the area. Just depends on what you are looking for...
Lovely walk! Paved paths, lovely trees nearby and nice picnic tables next to the river.
