Parks & Nature
A lovely short walk from the flat along the railway path which is safe for children. When you reach the City Farm, there is a community farm which is free. Donations are always welcome though! Then why not pop into the Cafe where you will have freshly made local produce for you and your family. The Cafe has a children's play area as well.
If you want to take the walk further look out for Boiling Wells or the Gas Lamps and Cutthroats Walk.

Boiling Wells is a beautiful 2.5 acre site nestled in a tranquil woodland valley just three minutes walk from the main Farm site. With wild green spaces, a terraced orchard interspersed with rambling soft fruit, native trees and a nearby stream, it is a unique oasis in the heart of the city.
Not normally open to the public, at Boiling Wells we run a range of outdoor activities throughout the week that are not easily accessed elsewhere within the city, often supporting vulnerable children and adults.
We do open Boiling Wells to the public on occasional special weekends for the Farm's seasonal celebrations and events.
The site also has an outdoor amphitheatre and larch barn that can be hire
