Golden Acre Park - Beautiful Day Out

I love nature and I love exploring. Even more so when the said exploring can be done in the sun. 
Golden Acre Park in Leeds is the perfect place for sunny summer strolls and picnics.  
Last week me and the boy decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and have a picnic date in the sun.

The park is full of green open spaces which are perfect for a picnic or some sunbathing! Golden Acre Park has beautiful gardens full of colourful flowers (some of which I have never seen before!) and a very scenic walk around the lake and if picnics aren't your thing you can have some cake and tea at the popular tearooms.

The lake  is just absolutely stunning, it really didn't feel like we were still in Leeds whilst we were at the park. It's hard to believe that such a beautiful place is situated only a 15 minute drive away from the city centre. 
It was such a beautiful warm day that I even got to wear one of my favourite summer dresses! 


I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing in this picture - trying to balance maybe?!















One of my very favourite flowers are Lilalcs. When I was a little girl I used to play in a garden full of Lilac bushes and their wonderful smell of them meant that summer was coming. Now every time I spot a Lilac bush I just feel the need to smell the beautiful blossoms. I got very excited when I discovered that there's a whole little garden dedicated to Lilacs. If you want to have a look at these beautiful flowers you better be quick as their season of bloom is almost over!

After our wonderful walk we settled down for a picnic of sandwiches, homemade cookies and a scrumptious fruit salad! 
Golden Acre Park is the perfect setting for a summer day out with your family, friends or that special someone and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's one of the most beautiful parks in Leeds and I will certainly be coming back more than once this summer!

    Ah, beautiful photographs, Deimante! The lake and all of the colourful flowers are so beautiful. I'm sad I've not had the chance to go for a picnic yet - I've spent all of Glasgow's sunniest days in work so far, but hopefully before the summer is out I will have an opportunity! I don't know why eating outside is so fun, but, whether it's a picnic, BBQ or beer garden, it's definitely one of my favourite summer activities!

      Thanks so much Charlene! We've had some nice days by now but I certainly hope we have some more because I like you have spent most of them inside! Eating outside is definitely more fun :) x

    I've never been to Leeds, but I have to say this isn't the type of place I would have thought of being there! Such beautiful photos, I'm glad there are nice nature filled places in cities. You are so stunning too!

      Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! There's quite a lot of nice big parks in Leeds that you would never think are there :) It's great because I'm such a nature child at heart! You're too sweet xx
