Neighbourhoods
Because it's so close, I often take a stroll through on Saturday mornings when the markets are getting started. Grab a drink from one of the many lovely cafes and enjoy the people and things scattered along the road.

Exercise
Each Saturday morning at 9am, I take park in a free and public 5K Park Run which takes place in this rough and ready scrub. If you fancy a bit of exercise when you're here over the weekend this is the place to be!
