Sightseeing

You have to go here if you are in the area!! Try and get there earlier as it gets quite busy. Only open on Sundays but a lovely street to visit even if the flower market is not on for shopping. You must try the calamari from the hatch! Its part of all shopping trips to the road. Nice pubs on there too called the Royal Oak and the Birdcage. Both serve nice food too.
