点评:My friend and I visited Morrab Gardens purely by chance, as we used it as a cut through to get to St Mary's Terrace. We didn't know the place existed until we stumbled across it.
I was really impressed with it. It was a lush green municipal park right in the heart of Penzance which, due to the mild climate of West Cornwall, plays host to a number of Mediterranean and sub-tropical plants.
We could have just as easily been in Nice. It was a wonderful spot to chill out and breathe in the lush, clean air.
There were Cornish Palms, Monkey Puzzles, Magnolias, Strawberry Trees, Date Palms, Giant Rhubarb and even Banana Trees.
Everything was vibrant and green and exceptionally looked after without looking manicured and over the top.
There were signs dotted across the gardens with information about the plants and the wildlife you can see there, including (but not limited to): Field Fare, Bullfinch, Newts, Mice, Stick Insects, Dragonflies, Kingfisher, Frogs and Wrens!
There is so much more to this place than I can attest to - there is a library in these gardens that I didn't even see, along with a fountain, bandstand and a Boer War Memorial. These passed me by unfortunately.
I should love to come back here one day and spend more time wandering around the verdant gardens and just chilling out.
The best thing of all - it is entirely free!
翻译:我和朋友纯粹是偶然间才来到了莫拉布花园——我们只是把它当作一条捷径来通往圣玛丽露台。在无意间发现它之前,我们甚至都不知道有这样一个地方存在。
我对其印象极深。这是一座绿意盎然的市政公园,坐落于彭赞斯的中心地带;由于西康沃尔地区气候温和,园内还生长着许多地中海及亚热带植物。
置身于此处,简直就像是在尼斯一样。这是个放松身心、尽情呼吸清新空气的绝佳去处。空气清新宜人。
园里有康沃尔棕榈、智利松、玉兰、草莓树、枣椰树、大叶牛蒡,甚至还有香蕉树。
一切都郁郁葱葱、生机盎然,而且打理得恰到好处——既不会显得过于人工雕琢或夸张。
花园里随处可见指示牌,上面介绍了各种植物以及能在这里看到的野生动物,包括(但不限于):田鹀、红腹灰雀、蝾螈、老鼠、竹节虫、蜻蜓、翠鸟、青蛙和鹪鹩!这个地方的魅力远非我所能完全描述——花园里还有一个我甚至没看到的图书馆,此外还有喷泉、音乐台以及布尔战争纪念碑。可惜这些我都错过了。
我真心希望有一天能再来这里,花更多时间在这绿意盎然的花园中漫步、放松身心。
最棒的是——这里完全免费!
