Melton Country Park Musings
Welcome to visual musings from my ambles through Melton Mowbray's Country Park. The Park is quite rich in nature, on the Northern edge of Melton Mowbray, and conveniently on my doorstep. It lures me in almost daily, and is a pleasant green space in which to unwind and connect with nature.

AUDIO of AMBIENT SOUNDS in the PARK
Captures on my iPhone during late January. As for most of the UK, we were hit with hefty frosts after days of significant rainful. The three lakes water level rose exponentially over a very short period, then when the water levels receded, crackled plates of ice provided a beautifully artistic, yet rare spectacle.




On the other side of this well-kempt hedgerow are Redwood Avenue Allotments - pictured below. Excluding a Community Allotment further into the park, this allotment is the smallest in the park with 18 plots, with then Doctors Lane Allotments comprising of 67 plots towards the upper, Southern end of the park. I am hoping to become a member of the Community Allotments. They are a welcoming bunch of allotmenteers and the set-up will suit me well.

In 2024 I created a few images of Doctors Lane Allotments, that you can see here.
