Скачать или смотреть The Homestead Park

Suitable for children and family viewing Homestead Park is 1.5 miles west of York City Centre. It was opened in 1904 by English social reformer Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree, son of Joseph Rowntree. He was owner of Rowntree’s Chocolate Factory and I think we all love their Kit-Kat!! The fields behind his house would be made available to children attending York schools for outdoor activities but in the late 1970s the house was converted into offices and is now the head office of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

Leaving the small car park, go through the gate and follow the tree-lined avenue with signs leading to Herbaceous and Prairie borders, Medieval garden, Circle garden, with shrub borders also to Backhouse Pond, Rock garden and the Main lawn. The beautiful Formal Garden theme this summer was based on “Winnie the Pooh” and those who know the stories will recognise the characters there. There is also a children's play area and just outside the main garden is a Wildflower meadow when in season and a Bog Garden also Woodland with an extensive range of native and ornamental trees.

Piano music: - “Try To Remember” by Harvey Lester Schmidt (1929-2018)
Music for:- “Winnie the Pooh” in the Formal Garden is called “Children’s Games” Suitable for Children and Family viewing
