    Hiking

    A Grade I listed site since 2007, these sculptures have been unveiled in 1854 as the first dinosaur sculptures in the world. The 15 models are notable for representing the scientific inaccuracies of early paleontology, the result of improperly reconstructed fossils and the nascent nature of the science in the 19th century.

    Cycling

    Slushy, slippery ground because of the snow which is melting fast; beware of black ice tomorrow with temperature falling below zero. Not ideal for a commuter bike like mine.
