The UK’s very best green spaces were announced on 16 July with Staines Cemetery and the Sunbury Walled Garden in Spelthorne receiving a prestigious Green Flag Award - the mark of a quality park or green space.
They join a record-breaking 1,970 UK parks and green spaces and 131 in thirteen other countries around the world who have been recognised by the Green Flag Award scheme.
This international award, now into its third decade, is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities.
