Go along the road and then turn right into King’s Road. At the traffic lights, turn left and follow
the road round. It’s one-way so just keep going until you get to the roundabout. Take the
first turn off into the high street. Carry on along the high street for about a mile and a half. The
market is on a small street off the high street on the right-hand side. When you are on the
high street, slow down when you see the cinema. Take the small road on the right straight
after the cinema and you’ll see the market on your left.
