👍👍 Fantastic gardens, the staff/gardeners/caretakers I talked to were lovely people, I could find a place to sit and enjoy. Something that let the place down was foreign nationals allowing their children urinate through the gates into the graveyard, and thought it funny. There are toilets in the main b...

👍 Lovely park with a nice little lake and a playground for the small ones. The little lake has many ducks, ducklings and some other nice birds I don't know the names.
