I think it starts at the Visitor Centre (that new monstrosity), the pavilion is that equally monstrous Tent thing I think.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

I enjoyed that today, it was great. Have to go back in the spring when the island bursts into life+ see the red squizzers.

The big ducks you refer to are Canada geese - they come to the park every year during winter.

Snooze, that's what I thought but apparently they're there all year round now as they are too well fed so have no need to migrate.

smashing pics, sounds like a good trip. The rocks.....happy memories of playing cowboys and indians on them as a nipper. The rocks was always the highlight for our lot, then there were the monkey bars, the roundabouts and the swings. We didn't go around wrecking stuff then either. I reckon the Park will be the first place me and the missus will be heading to for a walk.

Derek he said the figure of 8 pond is fed by a spring and used to drain itself dry in the summer. They've now lined it so that it stays filled.

I took a few but have not loaded them yet, this week is a bit manic

The ranger said when they drained the lakes the biggest fish there was about 45lbs (not sure what type)
would have liked to have seen them doing the draining
