Bolton Abbey

I apologise for a lack of blog posts as I've been away for a few days and have had very little time to catch up!

We headed to the Yorkshire Dales for the weekend and visited Bolton Abbey.  The weather was appalling - it rained all day, so taking any photographs proved tricky.  Nevertheless, we got kitted up in our waterproofs and had a good walk.  I attempted crossing the river by the stepping stones, but turned back after half a dozen stones as they were too slippery and the river was getting deeper - didn't fancy falling in and taking an early bath! 

The river Wharfe runs through the estate and is perfect conditions for Dippers and Grey Wagtails.

I will have to revisit on a brighter day .....
