Hampstead Heath 汉普特斯西斯公园
Hampstead Heath (locally known as "the Heath") is a large, ancient London park, covering 320 hectares (790 acres).
This grassy public space sits astride a sandy ridge, one of the highest points in London, running from Hampstead to Highgate, which rests on a band of London Clay.
The Heath is rambling and hilly, embracing ponds, recent and ancient woodlands, a lido, playgrounds, and a training track,
and it adjoins the stately home of Kenwood House and its grounds.
The Heath has long been a popular place for Londoners to walk and take in the air.
伦敦北部的汉普特斯西斯公园 [Hampstead Heath],是伦敦面积最大的绿地。所谓绿地,其实根本就是一片森林迷宫。在里面绕一整天都未必能看个概貌。
