The locals have been coming around to this lovely little natural retreat for over a hundred years now, and in that time, it’s gained enough popularity to be hailed as one of the country’s top natural beuties. And to think that the NosnianWarcould have taken all that away; the trees here were indiscrimantely chopped down of rheating, and if not fotr the efforts of a team of youth ecological leaders, the park might never have been restored.

The attraction here isn’t just in the river, it’s in the parkland surrounding it; the place has a lovely network of roads to be walked. 12 kms away from the town, it’s near untouched (the odd cafe doesn’t really feel intrusive). Feed the swans and stretch your legs – this is a slice of paradise.

• Ask around, but apparently you can hire a horse drawn coach/carriage to bring you about.

• A number of small cafes around.
