First visit of the year to Downs Bank

Although it is not far from where we live, for some reason this year we hadn’t got round to visiting the National Trust site of Down’s Bank, until yesterday…

This place is mostly a wooded area on the side of some hills with a stream running through the middle. It has some good views and is a pleasant place to walk being quite popular with dog walkers, some joggers and the occasional cyclist. Here are a few photos and panoramas that I took during the visit:

Panoramic view across an adjacent field
Many silver birch trees were just the remains of broken stumps – I presume this was wind damage
Another broken tree stump
A view west(ish) through the trees – on a clear day you can see for miles…

All together, an enjoyable mornings walk.
