📍 War Memorial Park

War Memorial Park is a large park covering an area of approximately 48.5 square meters, located in southern Coventry, England. It was opened in July 1921 to commemorate the 2,587 Coventrians who died in the First World War between 1914 and 1918. There is also a personal monument with the name of a soldier engraved on the side of every tree in the park (you can also see a few from the photo above. To respect every soldier who died, I didn't intentionally take a picture of the monument). In addition to this, you can see local residents coming from time to time to place flowers next to the Urban War Memorial, which was built in 1927. Furthermore, to this day, it has become a place for parent-child activities and a relaxing day with friends or couples.

There are no restaurants or cafes in the park; there is only a temporary minivan selling coffee. The nearest restaurant takes about 15 minutes on foot from the periphery of the park, and there are only a few to choose from. As a result, many visitors bring their own snacks to picnic on this large meadow. Unlike London's famous parks, there are no boating activities here; there is only one badminton and soccer field for people to use. Instead, there is less traffic in this park, and the whole atmosphere is quieter.

🌸 UK cherry blossom viewing hotspots

We arrived at this park just in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. In addition to the pink cherry blossoms that are commonly seen, there are also several white cherry trees in the park! One of the reasons I love to visit the park is because the scenery is different in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and each has its own characteristics. Under the scenery of the falling English, we also saw many romantic couples strolling around and photography enthusiasts with all the equipment taking pictures. Everyone was slowing down and enjoying slow work in the park.

The spring park is full of life and full of energy. I love to sit back and watch the small plants, and watch them work hard to grow on the meadow regardless of the sun or rain. It also motivates me to live harder, cherish everything I have now, and there are no unsolvable problems (I feel like I'm getting deeper and deeper). Also, looking at the colorful flowers just makes people feel more happy!

The previous race tree, and the latter succumbed to the next. Locals began planting trees in the park hundreds of years ago, so the trees here are upright and tall, and you can see how old they are from the tree rings. The years have passed, and each tree has a unique shape. The shadows of the trees shine through the sunlight on the grass, shielding us from the sky.

My friend and I prepared a picnic table and sandwich bento in advance. Under the sun, I watched the sky as the sky was high and the clouds were pale, and I heard the leaves rustling and the children laughing. I picked up a picture book and watercolor, calmly recorded the current situation, and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon.
