I throughly enjoyed the Open Spaces Society members day exploring Kenilworth and the historic Parliament Piece. The myth of King Richard III holding Parliament in 1266 was debunked despite it being a fantastic story! #OpenSpacesSociety #GreenSpaces #Kenilworth #ParliamentPiece #Myths #Warwickshire
Moody looking clouds approaching Parliament Piece. A beautiful warm day to stroll around Parliament Piece An Open Spaces local correspondents day is never done. Measuring the size of the gap in the gate to ensure it meets the British standard. Parliament Piece is owned by the Open Spaces Society and leased to the Wildlife Trust.
