Birstall is a village on the edge of watermead, as is Syston and Thurmaston... i live in Syston, many of my friends live in and around Thurmaston and Birstall, and so very often watermead or 'The lakes' as they are known as are used as a meeting point for us lot. One of the pictures below shows a mammoth on top of a hill, which is the main place where in the summer we meet up and chill out in the sun on the hill....
Watermead is huge, its miles across and miles long, which for a country park on the edge of a city is pretty impressive. It used to be a quarry before it was converted into this park, and there is no way you'd ever guess it was man made because its been left to its own devices for such a long time. |
