Life on the canal has a different pace. You can’t live on a narrow boat and rush anywhere. It’s all slow cruising and locks. It looked very peaceful and beautiful.
It wends its way along the contours of the landscape through idyllic countryside.
My Walk At Grosmont in Yorkshire.
We set off from the village of Grosmont – a place of wonder for railway enthusiasts. It has the first railway tunnel in the world and boasts a station before there was one in Lodon. The railways started up in the North of England and Grosmont was a major industrial site with mining for iron ore and foundries – all long gone.
We walked out of the historic village and along the trail past the wild garlic and up to the bluebells. The sun shone through the woods. Beautiful. Gushing streams and waterfalls. We went up above the trees into the open pastures full of sheep with new lambs. Dry stone walls and skeleton trees. Then walked along the top of the hills.
Walk at Fridaythorpe in Yorkshire – photos
This is a beautiful walk through Horse Dale up to the pub at Huggate. The Dale is beautiful and at the top you have great views over the countryside. It’s one of my favourites. There’s nowt better than a good pint at the end of a walk.
There is a stop-off near the top – a poet’s bench. They had a box with paper and pens. You could sit, take in the wonderful scenery, and compose a poem. Superb!!
