A great last minute gift idea
Warwickshire County Council’s Country Parks are not only providing a welcome refuge from the bustle of Christmas shopping, they are also this year offering some great gift ideas.
The Information Centres at Ryton and Kingsbury country parks are offering a range of gifts including books for all the family, walking and field guides, ornaments and cuddly toys.
Plus this year there are some very special gifts made out of timber from Kingsbury Water Park. These hand-made gifts are unusual and every single item is unique due to the nature of the wood.
These range from nutcrackers and pens to some very stylish walking sticks.
Visitor Manager Paula Cheesman said: “We’ve got some great gift ideas, and I can’t think of a better way to walk of those Christmas Dinners, we’ve got events going on around the county on Boxing Day.”
