Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell (Part II)

Brightwell-Cum-Sotwell Park (II) 

Brightwell (II) is lovely! It is set in a large square field. It has lots of trees for shade, interesting humps for rolling down, two enclosed parks: one for older children, and a smaller one with two swings for little ones. There are two tennis courts (I don't yet know if they are open to 'the public' or if you need a key, as in some villages) and wooden football goal posts. 

Despite this, my son was not impressed (well you can't please everyone!). His chief complaints were there are no conventional swings and no fireman's pole. 

Find this park on the google map I made for you. 

Not this lane...


It is not obvious where this park is. It is off Church Lane and accessed by following quite a long lane. But beware: the lane is lined with stinging nettles at the moment. I am sure there is another way to get there, given it is right next to the village school. However, we parked next to the war memorial, opposite the village hall and the Village shop on West End. Church Lane is opposite the war memorial. The lane to the park is the second lane on the right. 


The first one is a cycle path (above)

...but this one












Pictures to follow.
