ST THOMAS PLEASURE GROUNDS

#stpg

BLOG
A key park of the general St Thomas area which covers around 4 acres  of green space. There are a great number of trees as well as shrubs along with a field making this a very well-rounded park. The large Hornbeam is a fanastic specimen and should be checked if you do pop by. The three large Field maple and two large Maidenhair trees are just as impressive and help to make this a great park. If you wish to view or make a comment about this park please click here.
