Geocache Description:

This was placed by my 6 year old daughter. It is close to a relative (just over the fence) so don't worry too much about being close to a house as they know what we are doing.


This is a small clip box container with a log sheet and a few swaps, but remember don't let the teacher catch you - otherwise you might by put in the corner!

---------------

The Lawn Pleasure Grounds (locally known as Sutton Lawn) encompass the grounds of the former Sutton Hall, built as the residence of Samuel Unwin, a merchant hosier, and the land associated with his nearby Cotton Spinning Mill and Mill Lake. Sutton Hall and most of the Mill complex no longer exist, but the Mill ruins (now houses) and adjacent lake form the focal feature of the park today.

A number of elements from the original landscape remain, for example the dam and dam wall. The ruins of some of the original mill remain, which have been developed into residential properties and parts of the boundary wall still show the larger structures and the location of the mill.

The park is mainly comprised of grassed areas with areas of woodland and avenues of trees. The lake is located in the south of the park, and is well used by anglers and walkers. There are childrens play areas, a café, bowling greens, a skate park, ball court and tennis courts.

It is probably best known as the location for Ashfield Festival, which is billed as the largest free festival in the East Midlands.
