Located in central London is a public park that remains hidden to even the locals.
The medieval-style church of St Dunstan-in-the-East was built in around 1100, and has had a long, 900-year-old history.
In 1666, it was rebuilt after being damaged in the Great Fire of London. Then, during World War Two, a direct hit during the London Blitz destroyed a majority of the structure, leaving behind only the north and south walls and steeple. Instead of rebuilding once again, the city of London decided to turn the remains of St Dunstan-in-the-East into the public garden which is accessible today – if you know where to look.
Tucked away from the main road, the garden is situated between the Tower of London and London Bridge. The green, ivy-covered walls, trees and flowers offer an enchanting escape from the city and serve as a reminder of London's history.

Yes, in Brittany, where I live every year during around two or three months, in the Summer, there are beautiful places. Specially a beach on wich there are never much people : you cross the path of only a few people : parents with children, resting or playing, people by one or two, or in little groupes, walking along the beach. You see the sea at North, the sand is fine and soft, the waves make always the lanscape more or less different. At low tide you see on the sand a lot of shells and seaweeds. in the remotes, you see moving and changing clouds, and small islands. A dune of pebbles is along the beach on the earth side.
I live in Abruzzo, a region in the centre of Italy. There's a wonderful place not far from the town of Chieti. It is an ancient church, San Liberatore a Maiella, surrounded by woods and incontaminated nature. If you follow the path on the left of the church, you can reach a brook flowing among the trees and the stones. It seems to be in a fairy tale. There, you can also find some monks'tombstones carved in the rocks. You can breath an enchanting and quiet atmosphere which reminds of old times and historical events.
no, I don't know this kind of place, in fact, I leave in India and I visit many places but it is very commonplace for everyone to know that in my city.
