Beautiful place to walk Roger. The PIP gives a good understanding of where you are on this path and its historical importance.

Beautifully composed and taken Roger...............the vibrant patch of green immediately caught my eye, drawing me into the shot. I also like the ivy growing on the trees to the left and the dappled shadows. Nice one sir!

My apologies for lack of comments............I was away for a while and I'm just catching up! I'll be back if I get some spare time.

Comments always welcome whenever they come Keith, Thank you,
we were lulled into thinking this would a good dry walk but how wrong we were, quite quickly it started getting wet and then decidedly boggy forcing an about turn with wet peaty shoes and trouser bottoms
