LANGLEY
PARK
Langley Park is a beautiful
place to 'escape from it all', take the dog for a walk, go horse riding, cycling
or just walking. Or relax with a picnic by the lake or under the beautiful trees
and simply watch the world go by. With patience you may even be lucky
enough to see some of the wide variety of wildlife in the park such as deer
and foxes, and if you
listen carefully you can hear the Great Spotted Woodpeckers tat tatting on many
of the veteran trees.
There is a wealth of
history at Langley Park, and remnants
of this can still be seen today, including the ornate gates and bits of fencing,
which are part of the original deer fencing. The Temple Gardens, from the
Victorian era, hold a collection of rhododendrons of national significance, one
of which is even called Langley or Langley Park.
There is much
character, and today it has a range of
different and very important wildlife habitats, including woodland, heathland,
wetlands and grassland covering its 130 acres. It is a place to come and relax
and enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
