What visitors say
A beautiful location with many walking paths around the canal basin with restaurants, coffee shops, cafes and other attractions adjacent to the Willow cafe overlooking the narrow boat berths.

Still under development. It was OK for a quick walk round the sculptures were very good but not many of them, and not very well signposted . To follow the trail it passes over a foot bridge so if you have mobility problems it's difficult. Possibly give it a few more years of planning.

It is wonderful here on a warm sunny day - less so if it is raining. Interesting selection of shops and cafes. There is building work going on just now which will probably double the outlets
