Middleton Park

Middleton Park is a large green space with a fishing lake, ancient woodland sections, and multiple sports facilities for various activities. The site also features a children's playground and a visitor center with café.

The land changed hands between various noble families over centuries and appears in historical records from the 11th century. Its conversion into a public park came later as part of modern park development.

The name refers to the middle settlement in the area, and it serves today as a gathering place for families and nature lovers. Visitors can experience how the green space functions as part of daily community life.

The main entrance on Town Street provides easy access with on-site parking for visitors. The grounds are walkable, with different areas well distributed and clearly marked.

The park grounds contain one of the world's oldest commercial railway networks, operating since the 18th century. This historic line still connects two stations today and is a rare survival from the early industrial era.
