Ruins of St. Botolph’s Priory

This was one of the first Augustinian churches in England, and it was destroyed during the English Civil War in 1648. A great place to time travel a bit and forget about modern-day technology; maybe yell freedom from the top of your lungs and remake your own version of Brave Heart, be the modern William Wallace!

Serenity at its finest, greenery at eye-sight, no matter where you lay your eyes, you will find a natural splendour taking your breath away; indulge in Mother Earth’s blessings, away from the tech modern life!    

Castle Park

Picnics and long walks were made for Castle Park; it’s “the place” to spend a whole day enjoying the greenery, take a photograph or two for IG, and even enjoy the ducks swimming heavenly with their flat feet, not caring about anything in the world. Pigeons share the same state of mind as the ducks; maybe you can join them!
