The swamp as we called it was always a challange to cross, navigating the planks of wood etc, and that tunnel - great times there
I don't know the 'Why don't U ?' ... what is it ?
That sun dial .. I remember so well. Used to always climb up to look at it.

Yes, there were always rope swings there in Otterspool - right back to when I was little - which is a long time ago !!
They would be tied to very high tree branches.
The swamp - that must have been the frog pond ?? Is it still there ?
I remember that sweet kiosk you mention, but the cafe further back was a bigger place, a proper cafe, I think the building was derelict last time I went there. Must be quite a few years since I've been. 7 or 8 maybe.
