Pulteney Bridge

One of only three bridges in the world lined with shops, this exquisite 18th-century bridge is one of the most admired structures in Bath.

Reviewed By philipt582

For those who are familiar with the film Les Miserables in which Javert, played by Russell Crowe, jumped to his death, will be delighted to discover that the bridge of Javert's demise is actually located in Bath . It is, I suggest, best approached via the toe path along the river. As you round the bend the bridge springs into view. If you continue to the bridge, you can ascend the stairs and emerge on the bridge to discover a wide range of interesting shops and cafes. Well worth exploring, without the need to visit Paris.

What a marvellous market the best market we've ever been to, brilliant bargains sells all you can think of, the stall holders are soooo friendly and Bury is a very friendly place as well the people are all very nice! The Black pudding company is a must to go to the black pudding is gorgeous and the ladies on there are lovely, it was great to be able to take some back to put in the freezer, set out very well as you come out of the shopping centre into the market, it is a total must visit sell great food pies, cakes, meat, fish, hot food, etc, you'll be spoilt for choice!

Tynemouth Markets

Reviewed By Jenny00777 - Euxton, United Kingdom

This is the most picturesque setting for a market that I have ever known. The covered Metro station at Tynemouth is a gorgeous Victorian station with glass roof, railings and a vast concourse which comes alive with the colourful and diverse market stalls. So many to see and make a purchase from, flowers, knickknacks, cards, jewellery, clothing, drinks and food. All very friendly stall holders and happy to help and recommend other stall holders if wanting something in particular. The old station waiting rooms and ticket hall have been made into bars and retail outlets too, and so well done. Four our legged friends, ???? water bowls places out so they could have a drink whilst we chatted with the locals who gave some top tips on other places to visit in the area, one of those being the lighthouse, which we went into visit the morning after. The market has a great lively atmosphere, a lovely addition to our Tynemouth Music Festival visit, to see the wonderful Jack Savoretti perform at the Priory. We’ll be returning to visit there too hopefully same time next year.

Bridport Market

Reviewed By Pinque23

I met a wonderful cashier called Jacky. I had had the most dreadful week, suffering two seizures, with subsequent severe head injuries, to then fall from an electric scooter, breaking three ribs and tearing all the muscles in my left leg and groin. There was first a super chap (whose name I gave forgotten - apologies) who helped me on the cigarette counter and advised me that he would help me pack my shopping as my mobility has been severely impaired. I simply could not believe it when Jacky handed me a stunning bunch of flowers that I had actually thought very beautiful, but felt a tad extravagant to buy for myself. Out of interest, I asked for the price, whereupon Jacky told me that on behalf of Waitrose she would like to give them to me along with a sticker declaring it a lovely gift from her. I was extremely moved by this, and almost burst into tears. Instead, as I carried home (rather slowly) my beautiful flowers I found a beaming smile meet my lips, which had been a long time coming. Looking at them now, as I am forced to rest, it has made such a lovely difference to my room, and I just keep smiling. I found that service above and beyond that which you would receive in any other supermarket, and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I should also like Jacky to be praised for her warmth and kindness, empathic nature, and fantastic judgment call. It made my year. :-) Thank you so very, very much! Pinque Lawes
