    Botanic Gardens

    Posted by belaydy 30 July 2007

    Green idyll below the bustle of the city centre. Benches, nooks and little havens for reading and relaxing, and the greenhouses for when the weather's not so friendly.

    Good tablet in the shop at the main gate too.

    Queen Mother's memorial is spectacularly kitsch - walk into the little stone hut and look up. You'll wonder why anybody thought that was a good idea...
