One of the largest of London's private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash, dominated by plane trees said to have been planted in 1817 to commemorate the allied victory at Waterloo two years earlier. Other trees of note include a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and weeping silver lime (Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris')
An original and unique feature of the garden is the Nursemaids' Tunnel, an early pedestrian underpass connecting the Square to Park Crescent. The tunnel passes under the busy Marylebone Road, allowing families to promenade safely through both gardens without worrying about the noisy public throng passing overhead.
The combination of Park Square and Crescent was designed to form a transitional entrance feature to Regent’s Park, leading the visitor from the formal Nash streetscape of Portland Place in the south, to the green and picturesque landscape in the north. It was described as a 'sort of vestibule' to the new royal park. New gates and railings have been installed to original designs.
The gardens retain most of their original Nash layout and have been managed continuously from their inception by an organisation specifically set up in 1824 to carry out this task, the Crown Estate Paving Commission.

The trees along the canal are incredible. Unfortunately there's a fungus affecting the plane trees and lots of them have had to be destroyed. They're magnificent trees.

Caledonia waterfalls, is one of the highest water falls in Cyprus. It is located on Platres village in Troodos and the water fells from a height of 12 meters. It can be reached via a walking path.
Caledonia waterfall is surrounded by forest in a very beautiful area with breathtaking views. The trail is 3km long and can last up to 2 hours. It can also be divided into two parts, the first one which is the higher one that leads to the waterfalls and the second one which leads from the waterfall to Platres.
Waiting, slightly weary and with a point of inner uneasiness, to see what this blind date will eventually turn up to be. A few bird droppings on the benches do not brighten up an almost graysh atmosphere....

Le centre de Hoeilaart abrite le "Jan van Ruusbroecpark", un domaine qui comprend un château, la ferme du château et la chapelle Notre-Dame ("Onze-Lieve-Vrouwkapel").
Le château est un bâtiment néo-gothique issu de la période romantique, mêlant éclectisme et éléments naturels. Il date de 1858. En 1919, la commune acquit le château pour y établir son administration communale ("Gemeentehuis"). Un magnifique platane (Platanus Acerifolia) plus que centenaire trône devant sa facade.
Hoeilaart, principalement connue pour sa culture du raisin et pour son musée de la forêt ("Bosmuseum"), abrite aussi la zone verte de Groenendaal, attenante à la Forêt de Soignes qui s’étend sur pas moins de 1 183 hectares.
