Spring walking route through The Green Park
Spring light drifts across The Green Park’s sweeping lawns and tree‑lined paths, creating a calm route through this open green landscape.
Across The Green Park, gentle slopes, long avenues of mature trees and wide stretches of grass create a landscape that feels open and uncluttered. Spring brings a lift of colour through new leaves and fresh growth, softening the park’s layout and highlighting its calm character. This route moves through those shifting spaces, from shaded paths to broad lawns, with each stop shown on the map below alongside information on gates, toilets and cafés.
