Fall Park
Is there anything better than a blue sky sunny Fall/Autumn day? It's perfect for a stroll in the park, especially when the colours are changing. Luckily there is park which has this.
With oranges, reds, green, brown and all shades inbeteeen, this park is like a classical oil painting. I love walking and getting fresh air and exercise while admiring the nature. You can have a picnic, walk the dog or bring the kids for a play. Or simply sitting on a bench and admiring.
Unfortunately this season and weather doesn't last long. So go while you can.

Park Life
A prime example of a Victorian Era park. Opened in 1850 this is not just a community park but an historical site too.
Covering quite a large distance this makes for a great walk, exercise or workout, family fun time and more. There is a huge grassy area in the middle of the park which is perfect for a picnic or for outdoor games.
The lake is full of ducks and geese, often in large flocks and add a touch of character to the park. You can grab a coffee from the little cafe and sit on a bench and enjoy the nature & view.
The varied trees here are awesome with so many species. It's really quite something. Check out the nice rose garden too and the Victorian architecture dotted around.
We are lucky to have this in our town.

Thousand year old church
Beautiful old church dating back over one thousand years. Named after St John, it is a really beautiful structure. It's not the biggest but it has real history and character.
The grounds also contain a graveyard which adds an eerie feeling. I especially like it here during autumn when the leave change colour.
It's a great addition to an historical town centre

Wow! What an unexpected surprise find. When walking down the line which I often do I discovered this gem. Love the idea of re-using a horse box as a cafe.
Outdoor seating with a great view of the landscape below, very friendly service with a smile. Hot coffee and hot chocolate were good and was nice to sit&sip and get some fresh air. It's nice to be surrounded in such a natural environment away from the hustle and bustle
Will be back here in the future.

Towering Church
Absolutely stunning church inside and out. Wonderfully restored inside and out, a real visual delight. It's actually the tallest structure around for many KM and it towers above the town.
Inside has some beautiful stain glass windows and a charming cafe.
