This mosaic bench is in Langmoor Park, Lyme Regis, close to the entrance off Pound Street. It reminded me of the benches in Gaudi’s showpiece in Barcelona, Parc Güell.
It isn’t by Gaudi, though. It was designed and created by local youth from the town following a Youth Forum project in April 2008.
I think it’s a really good piece of work, and fits in quite well with the Mediterranean plants that have been planted up in the very pleasant park.
The gardens reminded me of les Jardins de la Fontaine in Nîmes, where I took the following photo during my visit in June.
A little bit of the Med in southern England. Pity we don’t have a little of their weather!
Very Gaudiesque and what a lovely idea, kids being involved in something like this. The park looks very nice too.
It is a lovely little park – constructed on an old landslip (that’s been stabilised – I hope!) Very pleasant to walk through and a good place to relax, with a great view of the sea and the harbour
