It's been too hot for any strenuous walking today, and I needed to be back in Doncaster to meet with a couple of friends at three o'clock and so I decided to go to Thornes Park at Wakefield. Wakefield is only twenty five minutes on the train and the park is a walk of fifteen minutes from the railway station.
Across the road from the entrance to the park I spotted this pretty Georgian church.
Just inside the park there's this building, a bandstand.
There are areas of the park where it's like being out in the countryside.
There's an aviary, but it's difficult to see the birds, having to look through the wire mesh.
It took me a while to find the formal gardens; the rose garden is spectacular at this time of year - the cacti in the greenhouse are quite impressive too.
