Lyme Park

It turned out to be really foggy once we got to Lyme Park. Fortunately we could see just enough to get by - it wasn't ideal as you couldn't pick up details in the distance. We also missed out on the views - so we said we would have to do this walk again!

Once we got to the higher ridge the cloud began to break up so that we could see a bit further. As we came down the hill we could see right across the Cheshire Plain to Beeston castle and the Welsh Hills.

Once we came back round to Lyme Park there was a lovely walk up the path with rhododendrons on either side, some were obviously being cleared. There were burnt patches of ground in places.

Jane managed to drop her glove - that's the problem with taking them on and off all the time as you get hot and cold! Fortunately we didn't have to go back too far down the hill!

As we came back into the park nearer the house we could see the walk we had taken higher up, the fog had cleared.

Had tea and cake in the cafe in the Hall.
