Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
During Covid we haven't been able to use our free bus passes but today we took the bus from Clitheroe to Skipton. A beautiful journey, totally unspoilt countryside and villages. On reaching Skipton the market was on........a good one too. But we came to walk, and within two or three hundred yards of the town centre you are at the start of Skipton Woods. and doing the walk through the woods you are conscious at times of how beautiful the surrounding country is. Dappled sunlight was our treat today, and the woods quite magical. Plenty of wild garlic......... We did a slightly different route from our last time here, this time keeping to the side of Eller Beck..... Yorkshire, like Texas, likes to boast of its features and this, in the middle of the woods, could be one of the longest seats in England. F. was joimed on it by a little companion. This is not a lawn, but the dam covered in chickweed....... .....and nearby one of the surviving weirs On exiting the woods, you are greeted by a very atmospheric townscape. A tranquil and interesting walk from the heart of one of our best market towns.
