Even though they’ve been few and far
between this summer we’ve had some gloriously sunny days, on a few of those
days we’ve been exploring towpaths far and wide.
Of course, this entailed driving
down some narrow winding country lanes.
Looking back up one of the sets of
steps we used to reach the towpath.
This heron danced around just a few
feet in front of us for ages, we were amazed at how close we got to it before
it flew away.
The bridge supports on either side
of the canal are all that remain of one of the many local railway lines that
were closed during the 1960’s.
Long term moorings conveniently
located close to a pub, which sadly, was closed when we were there.
Old lock keepers cottages, although
I assume they're private houses now.
Everywhere we went there were masses of wildflowers.
and best of all it was quiet, very quiet and
mostly we had the towpaths to ourselves.
