Special tree

The one saving grace of this small and neglected public park is the stunning display of cherry blossom in April and May each year.  Despite its name, there are no roses here any longer. Close to both local supermarkets and doctors' surgeries, this site could offer much more as a space to rest and relax in the heart of the town. The long-closed public toilet block is a blight site.  

A small area at the bottom of the drive between the hospital and the stadium that contains well-established trees including beech, oak, hazel, rowan, as well as wildflowers and stream.

A community-owned and run site that includes spaces to sit and enjoy nature and the view. Blairmore Gardens also has facilities to allow people to enjoy and identify nature including some interpretation boards, bug hotels and an insect viewer. There are raised beds where people can bring food to grow and share. At the top of the field, there is a large, mature oak tree that is home to lots of wildlife and various types of gall such as oak apples, silky button galls and spangle galls.
