Good place to experience the real Rolleston. The hamlet leader showed me around the estate and I got to meet many of the locals to see how they lived day to day. We also got to see how the hamlet locals tillled their fields and processed grains at the local stone mill. You don't see many hamlets these days so this is a highly recommended experience.
What's here
Little Rolleston Hamlet's playground is a medium sized neighbourhood play space in Rolleston, opened within the last few years, with a fenced junior area that makes it a safer stop for toddlers than most of the district's open plan playgrounds.
