On a beautiful, sunny spring day, what better way is there to spend your time than strolling round the delightful surroundings of Avenham Park in Preston?
A traditional Victorian Parkland, Avenham Park – and its sister Miller Park – were designed during the 1860s and features a splendid riverside walk, acres of lush green grass to play or relax on and a delightful Japanese Rock Garden, complete with majestic water features and a host of unusual and colourful plants and trees.
I spent a day with my son – a tad old at 16 to enjoy the play area – exploring the park and everything it has to offer, finishing with an ice cream in the incredible-looking, dog-friendly Pavilion Cafe, which is the official starting point for the Guild Wheel
Take a look at our pictures of this beautiful park.
