Caledonian Park
Caledonian Park is a popular site full of history.
The centrepiece of the park is a 155ft (47.5m) high grade II* listed Clock Tower built in 1853. The Heritage Lottery Fund confirmed a grant award of £1,873,300 in December 2016 which has funded our vision to revitalise Caledonian Park and has secured the future of its clock tower.
