January 9, 2025,Harbourside loop (pram friendly)

A gentle loop around the harbour, pram friendly with plenty of opportunities to stop for a coffee and for little ones to watch the boats/ ducks, walk and play around if the temperature allows.

Starting point (postcode or What Three Words reference): by the fountains Cascade Steps in the city centre
