Parker's Piece is a 25-acre square green common located near the centre of Cambridge, regarded by some as the birthplace of the rules of Association Football.
The two main walking and cycling paths across it run diagonally, and the single lamp-post at the junction is known as Reality Checkpoint, with a few interesting theories circulating as to how it got that name.
