A Buckinghamshire country park has been voted one of the best to play sports in for the second year in a row.
Black Park Country Park, which is owned by Buckinghamshire Council, came in the top 10 for sporting activities across the UK, according to research by GolfSupport.com.
They created an index looking at 170 different green spaces and an average weighted score out of ten was awarded to each park by analysing variables such as sunshine hours, greenspace perimeter and area, as well as waterlines.
Rounding off the top ten, Black Park Country Park scored fairly evenly across the board for a combined average score of 8.01 out of 10. Scoring 8.40 for open field sports, 7.61 for water sports and 8.02/10 for track and trail.
It was joined by the likes of Richmond Park and Hampton Court Park in London and Lea Valley Country Park in Essex.
Black Park boasts a string of woodland walking trails and GoApe to enjoy - and is a filming favourite among movie-makers.
