Lakeside Country Park is a country park just south of the town of Eastleigh in Hampshire. The park covers 60 acres〔(Eastleigh Borough Council: Lakeside Country Park ) Accessed 2 July 2014〕 and is home to the Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway. The park is on the site of old gravel workings, with lakes formed from gravel pits.〔 As well as the lakes themselves, the park boasts meadows and some young woodland.〔 The park is bounded by the Eastleigh urban area to the north, the A335 road to the east, the boundary between Eastleigh and Southampton to the south, and Monks Brook to the west. == Eastleigh Lakeside Railway == |} A dual gauge / light railway was established in the park in 1992, originally as a temporary layout.〔(Eastleigh Lakeside Railway: History of the Railway at Lakeside ) Accessed 21 September 2007〕 A more permanent track was laid down in 1993, as the railway company was granted a three-year lease.〔 Five years later, a longer lease was negotiated and construction began on the two stations, Eastleigh Parkway and Monks Brook.〔 They were opened in 1999, although further work on the layout itself was carried out in 2000.〔 A tunnel was added in 2003, and Eastleigh Parkway station was extended in 2005 with the addition of a café and shop.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lakeside Country Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
