As 'Friends of Brantwood' we are privileged to have free access to the house and gardens throughout the year. This gives us some great photo opportunities as there is always something to photograph in the garden and even if there wasn't, well it's just a great place to be. The gardens are extensive and just magnificent. The views from there are some of the best in The Lake District. We chose to drive the two and a half miles from the village, tripods can be very heavy! As we got to the head of the lake we were distracted by a calm lake and some nice soft light shining across the lake. So, we pulled into the car park and spent an hour there before carrying on to Brantwood.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention, the autumn colours were just stunning, especially when you get double doses with the reflection in the lake.
And back to the car to continue round to Brantwood.
The gardens become more wild and like natural woodland the further out from the house you get.
Ruskin's pond.
Some good views between the trees.
The hydrangers are hanging on!
The path, covered in acer leaves.
Bye for now.
