Verulamium Park,

St. Albans AL1 3JE

"The park surrounds st. Albans cathedral. Children's play area with lots of different things to do . A great park for a walk with friends or with your dog. In the distance as you're walking in the park there spectacular view of the park and St Albans cathedral which has lots of history to explore. It's a lovely day out and lots to do in Verulamium park ."

"We went to the Comedy festival. A superb evening. A wonderful selection of fast food. Curry, burgers, chips etc, So good. Beer, cider, g&t. The show wad so funny. My wife and I were in stitches."

"I used to have many fond memories of visiting Verulamium Park during my childhood on outings to St Albans. My last visit was in April, in which was my first in 4-5 years and unfortunately it was disappointing. The amount of pollution was horrendous, as to how it was flooded to the point where park benches and toilets were inaccessible (as seen in the photos below). Unfortunately on this occasion I am only giving this park just a rating of three stars out of five, which is a shame as usually I do tend to give the majority of parks I visit a four or five star rating. Besides from the pollution, the walk across the bridge was relaxing and took some time to admire the historic roman walls. The reflections of the trees above the pond were great to capture and remind myself as to why this park isn't so bad."

"This park has an amazing view of St. Albans Cathedral. It is perfect for a good walk, also there are areas for football and cricket. The park also has two ancient roman ruins, London wall and an impressive roman mosaic which unfortunately is hard to see because is located inside an enclosed structure."

"Great for most things you'd want of a park and pretty big. The main areas have all the usual family stuff and ice creams etc, and there are some beautiful nature areas around the edges beyond the bits of roman wall. There are little valleys/dells of woodland with bluebells etc, and lots of interesting geology so brilliant if you like archeology and fossils etc. There are toilets at the museum car park but that one gets very busy on Saturdays, so the Westminster leisure centre is a safer bet especially if you are meeting friends. Overall a great place, but I've never liked the very man made lake/pond which is shallow and usually filthy! Happily though, I read on a sign that they are looking to make it more natural, so that will improve it greatly! There are some bits of chalk stream around it that are much nicer, and I hadn't really explored much of til recently, lovely for a doggy dip or paddle. Chalk streams are also quite a rare habitat, so you can learn a bit about wildlife too, and hopefully the lake improvements will help to preserve it."
