East-Cambridgeshire-Park

The East-Cambridgeshire-Park is an open green space with old trees. Photos taken on site show tall, mature trees and broad lawns, along with a striking weeping willow and an avenue of trees. A paved path lined with benches runs through the grounds, alongside narrower, earthen paths beneath deciduous trees. At its centre lies a quiet body of water with a small pavilion beside it; winter images show the pond partly frozen and the grounds covered in snow. Across the seasons the park thus appears sun-drenched and green, autumnal, or snow-covered.

The park is named after the East Cambridgeshire District, with the town of Ely at its centre, in England. The district belongs to Cambridgeshire, lying around 30 km from Cambridge and about 100 km north-east of London. Some 63,000 people live across an area of roughly 65 km². Local sights include the town of Ely with its cathedral, a harbour and riverside promenade, Oliver Cromwell's House, the moorland known as „the fens", and nearby Cambridge.

The twinning charter was signed on 2 September 1978. Past exchanges included student and sports exchanges as well as collaboration between artists from the twin towns; at present there are no joint activities. The park nonetheless keeps this connection permanently visible in Kempen's townscape.
