Reviews of Midsummer Common
Lovely walk alongside the cam into the north of town at bridge Street.
Can start near Grafton centre for breakfast or coffee and finish at the wine bar on bridge Street.

It is free entry (luckily) so at least you don't waste your money, unless of course you buy the most overpriced foods...
