A lot of people may take the meaning of my title to represent a ghetto of a city perhaps; an area of poverty, deprivation, and a place that is generally run down. Broken glass, concrete, the odd burnt out car may come to mind.
I on the otherhand wish to apply it to Sefton Park in Liverpool. This place - this vast green space in the middle of south Liverpool - trully is amazing. It is surrounded by a real mixture of council-owned tower blocks, old and dilapidated mansions, terraced houses, upmarket apartments, hotels, and student halls of residence. And yet, it is in so many respects a true wilderness - that of nature, of long grass, of old and majestic trees, of open spaces.
Indeed, it is for that very reason that I love it so. It trully is one of my favourite places in the city, and after 5 years, probably one of my favourite places in the UK.
