Dolphinholme More Photos

Setting of on our walk, we passed Dolphinholme Methodist Church, the tower of which looks a bit truncated 

Dropping downhill to Lower Dolphinholme, on the bank of the River Wyre is an old mill that has been converted into residences....

....Alongside which is a very well maintained allotment.

Complete with scarecrow.

A little further on is Wood.cock Hall

Climbing up out of the valley, we came to Dolphinholme House and farm. At the edge of the road is another small allotment which was in a rather neglected state. I don't think Mr McGregor has been around for some time.

This very large, ugly ram was presiding over his harem. He eventually decided to move, but getting to his feet was no easy task for him.

A short coffee break, with a backdrop of building rubble. Why do we do that?...

...With beautiful scenery all around us.

We met four young lads going in the opposite direction, who were doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award. We met them again towards the end of our walk. They were Air Force Cadets en route to Guys Farm.

I nominate this for the best choreographed tree award.

Passing a neglected looking farm, we came across this disturbing scene. The young cow was dead, but there didn't seem to be anyone about.

We obediently complied, and as the hour was between twelve and one, we opted to partake of our lunch as well.

As we passed a very des res with a very large garden, we spotted this robotic grass cutting machine, skiving behind some trees.

Afternoon brew by the river.

Across the bridge and into the woods.

The decorative wood carving on this farmhouse makes it stand out from the others. In the adjacent field was a large water wheel, but it was not turning on this day.

This vigilant cat sees us on our way from an upstairs window.

Danny picked 1lb 6oz of blackberries for his good wife.

Anthony treated us all to a piece of his belated birthday cake .
Thanks Anthony.
