What you'll see
A chain of small wooded islands in the middle of the river, reached by Victorian iron footbridges, with paths under tall trees and the water rushing past on both sides.
A brief history
Before footbridges were built in the 1820s you could only reach them by boat; a great flood in 1849 swept those first bridges away.
