You step off the train and the air smells faintly of river and stone. Broad Street unspools ahead—honey-hued limestone facades, narrow alleys that insist you slow down, and a bridge that frames the River Welland like a deliberate photograph. The guide leads you through Town Meadows and beneath the arches of old walls; the river dares you to stop and watch swans and mayflies stitch the surface.
