Wyke and Benthall Edge

A circular walk from Benthall Hall. The NT car park is busy (and noisy!), but once we’re into the fields it’s a different world. The sky’s a deep blue today, with puffy white clouds (how do they stay up there? They looks so solid!). As we walk up the lane to the Vineyards, there’s a rustling in the woods, perhaps 30m away. As we stand still and silent, ten fallow deer make their careful way through the trees (the camera would have been busy, but we can barely see them. I’m sure they can see us!). Beyond, the path through the trees along Benthall Edge is pleasant, the sunlight picking out the bright green of new leaves.
