介绍:
Hello,Garrick!
Garrick is a delightfully and unspoiled village surrounded by fields and woods at the mouth of a river.Yet it's only a short bus ride from the old city of Harbury with its factories,industry,and heavy traffic.
The countryside around the village is incredibly green,with fertile fields,olive groves,and tall trees.Through the village flows a wide,clear rive,along the banks of which are a fleet of fishing boats.
If you are a nature-lover,the walk through the country to Lake Kellymore is wonderful and as it takes less than an hour,it is well worth the effort.This big inland lake is lovely for swimming.The fishing is said to be excellent,though I've no personal experience with it.
In the center of Garrick is the village square.Like many of the"roads"in Garrick,the square is unpaved but rock hard from centuries of foot traffic.Dominating the square are a couple of silver-barked trees which in the spring are alive with nesting birds.Between the trees are a statue and a fountain.Around the square are a few inexpensive restaurants,a couple of bars,and some little shops.Right in the middle of the square is a small store run by an old lady,who sells everything from sweets to T-shirts.Locals and visitors alike sit for hours over a drink in one of the bars,watching nothing much happen.
From the village square a dirt track leads you down through tall trees to the beach in a few minutes.This is a magnificent stretch of pale yellow sand,overlooked by bamboos and a few trees,which stretches away to the horizon.There is just one bar on the beach which serves light lunches and drinks.
If you are looking for peace and quiet and a lovely rural environment,then Garrick is the place to escape to——before everyone else discovers it!
