Rushcliffe Country Park (Grid Reference SK577320) is an open park space covering approximately , located on Mere Way just south of Ruddington〔OS Explorer Map sheet 260: Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, Scale 1:25 000 (4 cm to 1 km, 2½ inches to 1 mile) ISBN 978-0-319-23816-5〕 on the A60 in the borough of Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, England. The park is free to enter and attracts approximately 250,000 visitors a year. Rushcliffe Country Park has maintained the Green Flag award for two years; the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. ==Original site== Originally the area was a boggy waterland. In the 18th century it was drained into a stream named Gibsons Dyke and transformed into productive farmland by Arthur Gibson after the Enclosure Act of 1767. In 1940 Ruddington Depot was built with a bomb factory and ammunition bunker. The site consisted of over 200 buildings and took 18 months to build. A total of 4000 workers were involved in the building work of a site that would remain for 41 years. After being decommissioned in 1945 the site was used for auctioning redundant ex-military vehicles and equipment, with the depot finally closing in 1983. The auctions were known nationally and were held every eight weeks; each auction lasted for about a week and their popularity caused them to be advertised in the national press, which attracted dealers from all over the country. 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「Rushcliffe Country Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
