Squirrels of Peasholm Park

We took a wander around Peasholm Park in Scarborough to meet some of the locals. The cafe there does little bags of pellets that the wild squirrels seem to love.

Peasholm is an oriental themed exhibition space and public park at the North end of Scarborough, with a boating lake and some beaten up eastern-style buildings that look desperately in need to some TLC.

The best bit by far, especially if you've got kids, is walking through the woods, feeding the squirrels. They'll come right up to you and eat out of your hand.
