Nice place for a leisurely stroll and cafe, or for running, but unremarkable
Astbury Mere Country Park的点评
点评:A country park focused on Astbury Mere, with a mile walk around the mere that is mostly on a good quality woodland trail and also a couple of large grass areas good for children and dogs to play. There is a cheap car park that has plenty of space except on a Saturday morning when parkrun takes place, but there will be spaces by 10am. There is a small cafe there that serves drinks and light refreshments. There are also public toilets. It is well maintained, and most people there are local residents - this is not somewhere especially popular for people from further afield. There is only one place on the mere that dogs can swim, which is very close to the car park (from the car park go toward the mere, turn right at the Mere, and the path down to the lake is a little further on, just as you get into the trees). Dogs have to be kept on a lead on most of the path around the mere. There are limited views of the mere, as a local angling club owns all the area immediately adjacent to the mere and the path is set back behind the trees and bushes most of the way round. Aside from walking around the mere and visiting the cafe there is not much else to do here. Some people enjoy feeding the wildlife (birds, ducks, geese) near the watersports centre. It isn't too far from the centre of town, about a 20 minute walk, so it is quite feasible to come here and park for the day (£1.50), walking around the mere and then going into town. Note car park closes with the gate across the entrance at dusk. It is a great place to run, with a good path and flat. No bicycles are allowed.
翻译:这是一个以阿斯特伯里湖为中心的乡村公园,湖边有一英里长的步行道,大部分是优质的林间小道,还有几处大片草地,适合儿童和狗玩耍。这里有一个便宜的停车场,除了周六早上举行公园跑步活动外,那里有很多车位,但到上午 10 点就会有车位了。那里有一个小咖啡馆,供应饮料和茶点。还有公共厕所。公园维护得很好,而且大多数是当地居民——对于更远地方的人来说,这里并不是特别受欢迎。湖上只有一个地方可以让狗游泳,离停车场很近(从停车场往湖里走,在湖边右转,再往前走一点就是通往湖的小路,就在你进入树林的时候)。在湖周围的大部分小路上,狗都必须拴着绳子。湖景有限,因为当地一家钓鱼俱乐部拥有湖畔所有区域,而小路大部分路段都隐藏在树木和灌木丛后面。除了绕湖散步和光顾咖啡馆外,这里没什么其他可做的。有些人喜欢在水上运动中心附近喂野生动物(鸟、鸭子、鹅)。这里离镇中心不远,步行约 20 分钟,所以可以把车停在这里,停一天(1.50 英镑),绕湖散步,然后进城。注意,黄昏时分,入口处的大门会关闭。这里是跑步的好地方,有良好的路径,路面平坦。禁止骑自行车。
