We cant believe it 😢, following our post just the other day. It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved resident goose, Gary.
🪿Gary first arrived at the park during the first lockdown in 2020, having been dumped on our front lake. From that moment on, he became a much-loved part of life at Lakeview Manor.
Over the years, Gary gave us countless fond memories. In his first year alone, he managed to pose for – and photobomb – many wedding photographs, becoming something of a local celebrity. 📸
He was rarely seen without his little harem of ducks and quickly became a familiar face to guests and staff alike.
Many of our guests will remember being woken as early as 4am by Gary enthusiastically honking for someone to come and give him a few treats.
Gary brought so much character and joy to the park, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
If you have any memories, stories, or photographs of Gary that you would like to share, please feel free to send them to us.
Rest easy, Gary. You will never be forgotten.
