An outing in the car today through beautiful countryside to Bolton Abbey.
You don't need sunshine, it's lovely in any weather.
The parkland around the ruin of Bolton Abbey is beautifully kept,
all part of the estate owned by the Duke of Devonshire who owns the lovely Chatsworth House in the Peak district
Walking paths lead off in all directions along the river
making it a lovely destination for a day out with a picnic
with plenty to see in and around the ruins of this huge abbey
which is surrounded by the prettiest graveyard
beautifully manicured and decorated with large clumps of daffodils.
The more modern church nearby is impressive too
but you can't beat the original
and what a wonderful setting !
Cheers.
Another of our favourite places x
