Last month we paid a second visit to Biddulph Grange Country Park – The first since before the pandemic. Previously it was in the care of the local council but it is now managed by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust.
The photos I took, like many that I do of the countryside, is to gain a set of images that I can use for interactive virtual tours and video virtual walks. Therefore they concentrate on showing the path taken through the park. Below is a selection of images from this visit:
This is where the path no longer follows a stream but crosses it taking a different route:
When I take photos of something of interest, such as wild flowers, I like to show the surroundings to give context so that if you go there at the right time, you could see something similar:
The path taken took us down steps across a wooden bridge and up steps the other side:
Occasionally there are signposts giving directions:
At the end of a long, straight, downward path we came the gates of the National Trust’s Biddulph Grange Gardens:
We have often been in the gardens looking out from the gate but we never knew that there was a small lake (the Fish Pool) just yards away:
Our path took us further along the Fish Pool which has an island within it:
From here we descended through the woods back to the car park. This park is worth another visit, perhaps in the autumn.
