Keep the route simple

Plan your visit
Snacks and breaks
Pick freshly prepared snacks and check spice levels. Carry water and a small bag for tissues, rubbish and wet-weather supplies.
Strollers and access
Older pavements can be uneven, and busy sections are tight for strollers. A carrier may be easier; assess the actual surface before committing to a long walk.
Local background
The market works as a family walk through a residential heritage street; its historic surfaces and evening crowds call for flexible pacing.
Suggested walking route
Choose an easy entrance, agree on a landmark as a meeting point, make one short snack loop, and finish beside the river before children get tired.
Photography and observation
Photograph the family against well-lit shopfronts rather than stopping in the busiest middle of the lane.
