Now that 2016 is fully under way, maybe you’re in need of a place to go to ponder how you could have stuck to your New Year’s resolutions, although let’s be honest, the gym is over-rated and chocolate will forever be a girls’ best friend! Maybe you just want a post-exam walk around one of our beautiful campuses? Well, this little oasis of calm might be exactly what you need to help you reflect or recover after a stressful January exam season.
You may not have seen the quaint wooden summer house on the right of Cripps Hill on University Park Campus and the bubbling waterfall and pool are hidden behind the rock garden that can be viewed from the road. It is well worth a visit! Rediscovered and refurbished in 2006, it has now been ten years since the ‘Lenton Firs Rock Garden’ has been restored to its former glory. It’s thought it was originally built in the 19th century, so go wish it happy anniversary sometime this year!
