EXIT | Sunken Gardens | |
The Dining Halls faced onto the playing fields and towards the sea. When
the weather was warm and sunny it was very pleasant, but when it rained,
the sea breezes really cut across that corner of the camp.

The Sunken Gardens, by their nature, sometimes got flooded and the later
removal of the canopies from the Dining Hall walkways made meal times
very much a case of dodging the rain and the puddles!
