Somewhere new

I felt the need to get out for a while on Monday. We'd had a lovely weekend but had spent most of it at home so we decided to try out somewhere new. I'd heard Heaton Park mentioned quite a bit recently and decided that would be the place to go.We weren't disappointed. It's a beautiful and huge park with lots of different areas. There really was something for everyone. Lots of open grass areas, paths to cycle along,landscaped gardens, horses & ponies to pet, play areas and best of all

The Bluebell Woods

there was a wonderful woodland area. Big enough to wander round but not so big you feared getting lost! There were paths and streams to follow and so many little hideaways. I think we could of happily spent the entire time just in that area of the park alone

Hidden tropical colours

Although it was a lovely sunny day we've been having strong, chilly winds. The trees sheltered us from them but allowed the warm sunshine to filter through.
We'll definitely be going back through the summer and I'm already thinking how beautiful it will look in the Autumn when the leaves are changing.
