Ravens wood park in Gloucester Mass is a great place to hike if your looking for solitude and peace. In 1889, Samuel E. Sawyer’s death pass the land on and created Ravenswood Park which is now a nature reservation. There are miles of hiking trails and many different artifacts that present history through. One of my Favorite trails in this park is a incline trail that oversees the break water in the Gloucester harbor. I would recommend this place to any nature lover or anyone that just needs to escape from humanity for a short glimpse of pure nature.
