Wed 7 Nov, 11.15am
Our trained walk leaders will take you for a lovely stroll around Peasholm Park. The walk will take around 2 hrs, and includes a break to eat your packed lunch or even sample the local fish and chips.
Peasholm Park has been designed within a natural glen with a stream running through it which culminates in the lake at the bottom, the perfect place to walk or sit and enjoy the natural features all around. The oriental theme can be seen in the design of bridges and the layout of many areas of the park. There are lots of rare and unusual trees and flowers, both naturally wild and deliberately planted. Wild geese, swans and ducks swim around on the lake and squirrels are seen every day within the woodlands. As time has gone on and some of the original trees have died, parts of their stumps have been specially carved into figures. Look out for the squirrel and the dragon!
Meet at Peasholm Park Cafe, next to the pond - 21-23 Victoria Park, Scarborough, YO12 7TS
