Sutton Park

The largest city-park in Europe but only a fraction of the forest which used to cover most of the Midlands. Famous visitors include Henry VIII who used to hunt wild boar in the ancient woodland, while taking a break from beheading ex-wives or indulging in religious persecution. Sadly, wild boar are no longer one of the park's attractions so you'll just have to settle for the umpteen other types of wildlife on show. There are, however, rumours of a Bigfoot type man-beast who lives feral amongst the trees. His name is Barkfoot and he survives on nuts, berries and small children.
