Hampden Park Eastbourne

Yesterday was such a lovely day, that after working hard all morning I could resist no longer,I had to get out of the house and walk in the sun.
The reason I chose to move out of the town centre to this little village is because of the park. It takes me about eight minutes to get to one of the entrances, I think there are about four.



The whole park is surrounded by woodland with little paths that you can explore. The squirrels are not at all shy and will come right up to you if you feed them. There is a path that go's around the lake and various different gardens. The park has tennis courts, bowling greens, a play park, football pitches and a cafe.



 This was our first walk of the year and everything looks a little bare. They have put temporary fences around to protect the newly built up banks and nesting areas. Last year we saw Herons in their nests. There are ducks, swans, geese and sadly too many Seagulls who fight for the bread thrown in.




Between the trees you can see the cafe.






We bought ice creams and sat on one of the many benches watching children feeding the ducks.




The trees are still fairly bare, but as we looked up we could see nests.
 I found the trees fascinating .
