I have cropped this image from the 1987 park leaflet:
Here is my task for anyone who wishes to undertake it... can someone upon visiting the park this year try and replicate this image so we can see what the park from this view looks like today? Or does anyone have a picture already from this angle? It just looks so different...
Cheers datman, it's mainly just the vegetation that has changed really. Sadly the Pirate Ship doesn't look as majestic as it does in the 1987 photograph. (Although that could be down to it being in full swing).
I could't make out where that was taken from but those photographs you posted make it more clear.
