"Gorgeous little green area with a lovely stream crossing it. A great place to walk your dog, to bring your children to enjoy some greenery and just relax by the sun with a drink and a nice book. I love going there on sunny days when I don't have much time to go further in the woods, I sit there for 30 - 45 minutes, and just relax!"
