The walk stretches for 2km and takes you through a range of historic and art deco buildings, quaint shops, and cafes. You can also enjoy the beautiful gardens and parks throughout the village.

For the adventurous types, why not try your hand at the WildEnduro? This enduro mountain biking event takes place in March and is not for the faint-hearted.
