A pool of water in the navel of Grasmere, Easedale Tarn is a place to sit by and gaze into. People tend to stand around, basking in the captured sunlight as they wait, perhaps, for a mail-clad hand to rise gloriously from the Tarn's centre and give the finger to anyone who owns a 4x4.

Travel up Easdale Road out of Grasmere and follow the signs.

Within the concrete jungle of Central and away from the shopping malls, is a haven: beautiful gardens containing exotic shrubs, sculptures and fountains, a fantastic zoo housing shy orang-utans, noisy monkeys and pretty birds. And surprisingly, it is FREE.

Entrance is on Albany Road. Open daily.
