A walk through the park on a summer's evening, just as the sun's coming down.

Pontypool Park (Parc Pont-y-pŵl) is a 150-acre (0.61 km2) park containing predominantly mature trees with some open meadowland located in Pontypool, South Wales. The park was formerly the grounds of Pontypool House & was laid out in the closing years of the 17th century for Major John Hanbury, the local ironmaster, who is closely associated with Japanware. The grounds were purchased by the local authority in 1920, while the estate house was leased, & later sold to the Sisters of Holy Ghost, to become St. Alban's RC High School.
