Relaxing experience. There is a small pond and an ice cream stall. There are also great playground facilities, and even a miniature zoo!
Walpole Park is a 28-acre (11 ha) Grade II municipal park, situated in Ealing, England. Currently governed by Ealing Council, it was initially the grounds of Pitzhanger Manor, the early 19th-century country home of Sir John Soane. It was acquired by Ealing Council in 1899 and opened to the public for the first time on 1 May 1901.
Maintained by English Heritage, Chiswick House is a famous and fine example of the 18th century Palladian style of British architecture. The third Earl of Burlington (1694–1753), who designed this elegant Classical villa close to the Thames, drew inspiration from his grand tours of Italy, while William Kent was employed to create sumptuous interiors to contrast with the pure exterior. The Neo-Classical gardens, although much reduced from their original size, are the perfect complement to the house.
A Jacobean manor house (built in 1622), it is a pleasant and informative place to while away an hour or two, particularly during the summer when the extensive open parklands to the rear of the building make for a delightful stroll.
Victorian Gothic building built in 1888 and still in use as town hall.
Attractive riverside area, with many imposing listed buildings (including several pubs) alongside the River Thames. Be careful though, as the riverside path is liable to flooding at high tide.
