I took heaps of photos and, of course rested on one of the seats. Additionally, I walked through a lot of parkland with picnic tables, toward the end there were even some marble benches. I came across a public toilet in the first park - locked, of course. I also walked through some Roman ruins and even came across a disused rail line that looked in pretty good nick.
