BIRMINGHAM: A visit to the Royal Leamington Spa's Victoria Park - the venue for Lawn Bowls at the 2022 CWG - will instantly slow down the pace of your life. It is green, serene, replete with a dash of Victorian era architecture here and there.
There is the Warwick Castle adjoining the River Leam, overlooking the park in all its might and splendour. When it is sunny and you've an idyllic sport like the Lawn Bowls to watch, all you'll ever want is a glass of wine and occasionally give the courteous clap of hands for the encouragement of the players.
