Timeline
12:30
Wander through the stalls of the English Market. It opens at 08:00 and is busy with locals buying fresh produce and sandwiches. Grab a quick bite from one of the stalls if you haven't eaten yet.
12:50
Walk three minutes to Bishop Lucey Park. It is a small, central green space between Grand Parade and South Main Street. Find a bench to rest your legs and people-watch in the shade.
13:15
Head eleven minutes away to Café Gusto. It is good for a quick bite and coffee, making it a perfect end to this short, relaxed loop.
Local tip
The English Market is primarily a fresh-food market. If you want to sit down for a full meal, Market Lane is a bustling two-storey Irish restaurant nearby, but it is best for lunch or dinner rather than a quick stop.
