Abington Park, Public park in Northampton, England
The grounds include two connected lakes, numerous walking paths, extensive flower displays, and multiple sports facilities spread across the landscaped terrain.
The park contains archaeological remains of a medieval village and a manor house from 1500, which served as residence for William Shakespeare's granddaughter Elizabeth Bernard.
The bandstand hosts regular performances by local musical groups, while the Abington Park Museum showcases collections about Northamptonshire's social and military history.
Visitors can access tennis courts for £6 per hour, enjoy meals at the Park Cafe between 9am and 5pm, or use the fitness trail with eight exercise stations.
The park grounds were the location of the 1612 Northamptonshire witch trials, among the first in England to implement trial by ducking stool.
