What you'll see
A green riverside strip below the old town with lawns, steps down to the water, a fountain and river boats tied up along the bank, ideal for sitting with a drink and watching barges go by.
A brief history
Until the 1980s a busy road ran along the river here; it was put in a tunnel and the park laid over the top.
