About this audio guide
This guide to Wilhelminapark in Utrecht starts in eighteen eighty-eight, with a baron selling his fields east of the old city and attaching one firm condition to the sale. It follows the competition that followed, the garden architect Henri Copijn and his English landscape style, and the pond at the park's heart. Best heard by the water, then on a slow walk among the trees.
