Christchurch Park is a lovely park in the heart of Ipswich town. As a child I really enjoyed going there and looking around the mansion that sits within the park. Mum would tell me of going there when she was a child too. Mum loved walking there too. We would often go there, have a walk around the park and then sit and read if the weather was good. On rainy days we'd walk around the mansion even though we'd done it so many times before!
I think I've shared photos of the mansion before. Here's one I took with my phone this summer
The park is always pretty busy in the summer months. There are a couple of ponds that have lots of ducks, Cormorants and such, and a few trails to walk. There are always lots of families and people sitting enjoying the sunshine. The park has different events throughout the year including a free music festival the first weekend in July. I remember going there to the fair and to see fireworks.
As you can tell, I really love the park. I spent so much time there as a child and it's always somewhere I visit a few times when I'm back home.
My two sisters meet up every Wednesday and go for a walk together. For a while now, Christchurch Park has been part of their route. They walk quite a way! I always enjoy going with them when I'm back. This last week when they were out walking, they happened to see that there were some trees in the mansion. They had a look and my middle sister C took photos to share with me.
I really like the first one. It seems to have lots of crocheted squares. It looks really unique
