There's nothing like a market. The atmosphere; the banter; the conviviality; the bargains; the range of goods; the freshness of the produce; the speciality stalls.

They are wonderful places for locals and visitors alike to wander, browse and go home with a bargain.

There are twelve market towns within easy reach.
