  • This is an open area of grass with some splendid trees, within the Conservation area of the town. Once, this is the site of a grand house called The Rookery, this is now a green oasis in the town. There are benches on the grass, with views of old yew trees, beeches and pines. This is a remarkably quiet garden, close to the bustle of the town centre, frequented by many birds and squirrels.
