You start on the stone span of Pulteney Bridge, water pushing underfoot and Georgian facades tipping above like a row of old, polite neighbors. The app pings you into a walking line: river, weir, the rise toward the honey-colored sweep of Royal Crescent. It’s an urban walk with the feel of a small expedition—cobbles, short climbs, and sudden open crescents that let the city breathe.
