Just across the road from the Railway station is the Lake Gardens which are very well-kept, have excellent pathways and are usually litter free.

Here you can walk around the lakes via different routes, with joggers, cyclists and exercise junkies alongside you.

There are many tall trees which offer shade, gazebos or a table and chairs for a picnic. The lakes are also well stocked with fish so don’t be surprised to see fisherman throwing a few lines in the hope of catching some dinner.

There are plenty of hotels around this area so it is a great place to base your stay and relax  as it is close to many popular sites and allows easy access to the main highways.
