Roundhay Park, Leeds.
Roundhay is a massive park (700 acres apparently) a few miles from the centre of the city. It is so big I didn't see all of it the day I was there (it was January and got too cold to stay), here's a few shots from what I did see :)

This building is a folly built to look like the gate house to a castle but actually used as a summerhouse for the daughters of the man who owned the land.
