I did the Our Place in Space trail and found my new favourite walking route

Offering a chance to see beautifully designed scale models of the planets of the solar system, Our Place in Space is in the city until November 6.

The sculptures have been designed by artist Oliver Jeffers, astrophysicist Professor Stephen Smartt and a creative team led by Nerve Centre and are located on a trail from Church Street in the city centre all the way to Otterspool. Having admired the sculptures in town, I decided to give the whole trail a go and see what it would be like to follow it from start to finish.

At 8.1km, the trail is definitely not the shortest walk, with the full route being estimated to take up to three hours at an average walking speed. Luckily for me, the day I chose to walk the trail was one with lovely weather - it was not too cold and was even quite sunny, with not a drop of rain in sight.
