5. The Historic Dockyard Chatham Chatham
Chatham Dockyard was a Royal Navy Dockyard located on the River Medway in Kent. Established in Chatham in the mid-16th century, the dockyard subsequently expanded into neighbouring Gillingham . It came into existence at the time when, following the Reformation, relations with the Catholic countries of Europe had worsened, leading to a requirement for additional defences. For 414 years Chatham Royal Dockyard provided over 500 ships for the Royal Navy, and was at the forefront of shipbuilding, industrial and architectural technology. At its height, it employed over 10,000 skilled artisans and covered 400 acres . Chatham dockyard closed in 1984, and 84 acres of the Georgian dockyard is now managed as a visitor attraction by the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.

Since 1984 the animal park has been owned by a charity . The collection is known for being unorthodox, for the encouragement of close personal relationships between staff and animals, and for their breeding of rare and endangered species. Royalty and many other famous people have stayed at the mansion at the centre of the park. The rooms are lavishly decorated and the landscaped gardens have views of Romney Marsh.

Ben Fogle discovers Britains hidden delights

You wouldnt think it but there are thousands of secluded idylls right across the country only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the inner towns and cities. Parks, squares and heritage sites are dotted around the UK business and shopping districts places to spend some well-earned me time, mingle with friends or retreat with a loved one. If you live or work in a busy town or city, and spend lots of time in the thick of it, its important to take some time for yourself - kick back, relax, have a lunch break or just savour the moment.

Manchester for example offers 138 parks, gardens and open spaces, 40 allotment sites and an additional 25 nature conservation sites within the city's Irk, Medlock and Mersey river valleys. Birmingham has more canals than Venice and more trees than Paris, and boasts some wonderful spots like Victoria Square and St Pauls Square in the city centre.

Old Eldon Square is one of the beautiful areas of green space Newcastles City Centre has to boast; an area cherished to those who enjoy relaxing and escaping the hubbub and whirlwind of activity in the citys shops and businesses. It is a space enjoyed by both young and old alike and has served as a traditional meeting point and a place to slow down and take a break for generations of local city residents.

Situated behind St Georges Hall, St Johns Gardens in Liverpool is a popular refuge from the main City Centre; often dubbed the Peace Garden it is indeed a tranquil place to sit undisturbed and yet is only a few minutes walk away from the main shopping quarter.

Summer is the ideal time of year to discover these secret spots, and as you start exploring youll soon find they take on entirely new characters as we move through the seasons, providing ever-changing places of sanctuary from the hectic pace of modern life.

Heres a list of secret spots across the UK to get you started:-
•Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow
•Falkner Square, Liverpool
•Christs Pieces and New Square Cambridge
•Hinskey Park and Rose Hill Park, Oxford
•St Peters Square and Albert Square, Manchester
•Bircham Valley Nature Reserve and Victoria Park, Plymouth
•Prebend Gardens and Spinney Hill Park, Leicester
•Bute Park and Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
To show you how its done, in this video feature, Ben Fogle has teamed up with Nature Valley to take us on a journey in and around Holborn in the centre of London to discover the delights of several locations including Corams Fields and Russell Square Gardens.
