Here is an extract from our town walk to whet your appetite.....
As you come out of our bed and breakfast, turn to your right and walk down Carlton Road South, passing by the side of the B&B. Follow the road round the first bend; on your right is the old Convent of the Sacred Hearts School, built in 1909. The school closed in 1992 and was converted into flats; a new housing development was built on the school's hockey field opposite.
By the second bend you will see a footpath going off to the left. Follow this footpath to the end (be careful as it is can be quite overgrown) then walk straight on. You will see the Alexander Bridge ahead of you; use this to cross the railway line.
