no / The number of people visiting their local parks and countryside is
increasing according to a recent survey published by Natural
England [1]. An important reason given for visiting green spaces
was to “relax and unwind” and these areas can be considered
restorative or tranquil environments giving relief from cognitive
overload and reduction of stress. Our green spaces can be a refuge
from the din of city life and the green environment can provide
shelter for wildlife and bird song can be heard. But are they suffi-
ciently tranquil and what guidance do we have for improving such
spaces if they are not?
