The town is split by the river Leam which runs east to west through the town. It was on these banks that the Pump Rooms was built for people to bathe in salty spa water to heal their ailments. As a previous Britain in bloom winner the town has several key parks including Jephson Gardens,Victoria Park, Royal Pump Room Gardens, Mill Gardens, The Dell and Newbold Comyn.
