Sightseeing
just down the road from us, a lovely walk in a relatively low travelled area with a lot of tracks off the beaten trail to explore. Not flat but the paths are decent so makes a lovely walk for the whole family

a lovely zoo with lots of animals who are all kept in very large and comfortable enclosures, the park has won multiple awards for its enclosures including the most recent development of its "leopard heights". There are cafes, restaurants, and food vendors on site but you are welcome to bring your own food too (just don't eat near the lemurs they may try to steal it!)

Neighbourhoods
a quiet little suburb, mostly older families and retired folks and a lot of animal lovers. Most houses have a dog or a cat and a lot have chickens (surprisingly). Everyone is very friendly and you will most likely not be able to walk to the corner shop without having a chat with someone. The bus stop is right at the top of the lane (2 minutes walk away max) and we are well connected to transport networks including the train station just 5 minutes drive away and the M1 a 10 minute drive at rush hour.
