Cartwright Hall Art Gallery & Lister Park |

Laura says . . .This stunning art gallery, which showcases various collections of Victorian and Edwardian, as well as contemporary works is situated in the middle of an expansive green park, surrounded by flower gardens, and water fountains. The best part for me was the boating lake where pedal boats and rowing boats can be hired for a mere £3.25 per half hour. Be careful not to crash into the swans, the Queen owns them you know. |
