For folks wishing to explore the town a little more on foot, Launceston has walkway plenty along the North Esk River and the Tamar River. Take a light stroll along the 2 rivers that gave Launceston life. The view is not always breathtaking....but it is certainly serene and you will be walking by landmarks, such as the Boag & Sons Brewery etc.
I took a short stroll, starting from the Queen Victoria Museum @ Inveresk along the North Esk River, all the way to the Seaport area along the Tamar River with its swanky posh waterfront houses, finally finding myself exiting into the Park I spent a lovely afternoon in back in 2001.
2001:
I spent a lovely afternoon here, doing almost nothing, but sitting by the river banks, watching yachts sailing up and down the Tamar River, enjoying the occasional breeze, lapping up the "let-the-world-go-by" state of mind and chatting with my friends. There isn't a place in the world I am rushing off to that afternoon.
