I'm so lucky to live so close this absolute stunner! It's so very easy on the eyes, and cleansing for the soul. The perfect place to take a breather, and leave behind the stresses of life in the concrete jungle. Go for a walk/run, have a picnic, or simply laze around and enjoy the company of the abundant wildlife. Makes for one epic day out.
