A trip to Dulwich Park, Southwark.

Dating back to 1890, Dulwich Park was formerly farmland and a group of meadows known as 'five fields.
Many of its ancient oaks - which served as boundary markers - still survive today.
The park was a big hit with Queen Mary who liked strolling through the park so much that one of the entrances is now named after her (Queen Mary's Gate.)
I came along for the Green Fair that took place on the 20th May as part of the annual Dulwich Festival. Here's some of my pics from the day.
