Scarborough Gardens and Park. Part 2

21 comments

As always when out and about I always find time for a wander amongst the flowers and trees, in Scarborough the parks and gardens are always a treat to explore, these beautiful flower beds were just over the road from our apartment, which was on the South Beach side, high above the Spa,its a mega walk down through the gardens to the beach but well worth the walk..
I was quite taken with the ornamental veg plot and thought how attractive it looked..

As you can see these rose beds have a lack of blooms, they are usually full of colour and scent in Aug, the italianate style garden however is lovely and more than made up for the disappointment of the latter…

We did have company whilst we were taking our walk, this cheeky chap kept appearing..

Another great favourite with both the locals and the visitors is Peasholm Park which is over on the North Beach side and well worth visiting…

There are some weird and wonderful inhabitants living in the park..

Also plenty of the not so weird..

As you can see the squirrels like the visitors especially if they come bearing food..
You can take a ride on the water as well..

Unless like me you prefer to stay on dry land and enjoy watching..

I hope you enjoyed my wanderings through these lovely gardens….

Lovely blog Lincs, I really enjoyed it. Have never been to Scarborough, it looks quite interesting. One day perhaps I might get there. Gorgeous gardens there and I love the little squirrel too.

Thanks all, it is a lovely place, G`mage we had missed the battle proms by a day, my brother goes into Scarborough especially to watch them, he always enjoys them, the only complaint I have was the amount of rubbish left on the beach by folk, it was disgusting, there are hundreds of bins every few yards along the proms but people were packing up there gear and just walking away from their rubbish, sheer laziness..

to some people, "keep britain tidy" only applies to other people!

there was a report of a mass meeting of "green activists" somewhere, they left more than two skips' worth of rubbish that had to be cleared up after them ...
