POINTS OF INTEREST ALONG THIS WALK
The Gothic Ruin
The Gothic Gatehouse was designed as a sham ruin by James Paine in 1764. It was built from re-used stone taken from the 14th century Guisborough Priory. It’s also known as the Durham leaning Tower of Pisa as there is a noticable slant to the edifice.
The Willow Dragon
The focal point of a Hardwick Park children’s storytelling walk this 5 metre long Willow Dragon was created by Sylvan Skills using locally sourced materials. He's currently undergoing a revamp but he will be back soon with a brand new look!
Duck Decoy
Along with the mallard ducks there are plenty of other varieties of water fowl to see, along with a restored Duck Decoy that was first installed in the 1700s.
Wildlife Warriors
Along this walk, you can find 2 of the Discover Brightwater Wildlife Warriors. Skerney the swan can be found in Hardwick's play park and Brodny the Badger is at Bishop's Fen.
