"What a beautiful hidden gem. My mum and I stumbled upon it quite by accident as the botanical gardens were closed, and it was such a treat. It's small so you don't need much time to explore it, but it's an incredibly atmospheric and beautiful place to sit and read, or just rest in wonderful surroundings. If I lived nearby this would be my go to park to unwind."
