After a day starting to pack ready for leaving on Monday and sheltering from the occasional shower, the sky cleared and turned into a beautiful late afternoon. We took this opportunity to walk through the woods surrounding the site, someting we always try to do at least once each visit. In the spring bluebells carpet the woodland floor and during autumn it is always a good location for fungi. Today, though, the wood was in high summer raiment, the trees fully clothed with still fresh leaves providing dappled shade with patches of sunlight finding a way through. Returning down Ashes Lane the vies over Stevely and up to the head of Kentmere were spectacular. Our trip concluded with a meal in the Whistling Pig; fish and chips for me which was excellent.
