Well the park is the lungs of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, a small town about 20kms north of Nottingham. A 7 hectare public park with lots of woodland walks, wildlife and designated a site of special scientific interest.
This is where I spent half my childhood. They even have a cafe now! (what is the world coming to?)
Recently spent a pleasant Sunday afternnoon which bought back a few memories....
Directions:
From Staion Road, main street thru town, turn onto Lindleys Lane and follow signs to carpark Leave a Comment

The Nottingham Lace Centre. According to my guide book, 'Cette belle demeure medievale du XIVeme siecle est riche en dentelles. Un grand choix de styles et de prix vous y attend, et vous pouvez vous essayer a la realisation d'un cousin de dentelle.'
This means, according to my broken French, with help from my Pen Pal Melanie, that the lace centre is worth a visit! On le trouve sur Castle Road! Leave a Comment

If you like gardening and wandering about gardens looking at plants & flowers, then don't miss a trip to Lea Gardens. Lea Gardens are famous for their Rhodedendrons. Tea rooms and a pub (The Jug & Glass)with a restaurant are very close by. Lea Near Cromford, Matlock, Derbyshire. Well signposted off the A6 at Cromford heading up towards Lea, Crich and Holloway.
