    Lovely peaceful park and arboretum with benches to sit and, if you are lucky, there might be a games of bowls to watch at the adjacent club. Café nearby to grab a drink and snack to eat in the park. Watch out for some antisocial dog owners who refuse to keep their dogs on a lead as requested to do by the park rules.
