A nice little walk along the Derwent River that has good paths and interesting things to see. It has a few art works, lots of seats, toilets and a playground. Not to mention the beaches and water front.
There are lots of place to start and finish the walk as there are quite a few beach access points.
Some of the path is of high quality and suitable for wheelchairs.
