After a stroll along Great Pulteney Street, have a coffee and a bite, browse the free exhibition (and the paid for one if it's interesting) and then do as was first intended when the building was a hotel, walk through the cafe and straight out into the pleasure gardens beyond. For a pleasing round trip back to the apartment, drop down to the right onto the canal towpath and follow it to when it joins the river, almost all the way home.
