Might as well count Park Chu Young.
They also appear to be counting reservoirs as green spaces :hehe:

Are they actually counting the underground sections of the New River there or is that the barely 50ft wide Parkland walk?

Reservoirs are important habitats for wildfowl and are often surrounded by green spaces :shrug:

So we can get an idea of what a non-**** map looks like?

reference, including tons of walks in all areas.
A few very short, gentle walks I can recommend:
Around lake Buttermere - a small lake.
Castle Crag in Borrowdale - the smallest of the Wainwright peaks in a stunning valley, and with a war memorial on it. It was once an ancient fort, I believe.
One we did the other week: Rannerdale Knotts via Rannerdale valley, by Crummock Water, near Buttermere village. Up a gentle little valley then onto the back of the fell for a stroll over green carpet to the top for views over Buttermere towards Haystacks and Great Gable.

of the scenery.
Cheating though, I think. In my day it was all about a map, a compass, a stout pair of boots and one's wits pitted against the elements.

On the other hand, I am keen on a gadget.
