Back On Home Territory

After a couple of days walking and flower spotting on limestone country, today we returned to a walk from home. There are so many variations on the walk from Coniston to Tarn Hows it would be impossible to grow tired of it. Then of course, at this tome of year with all of the wild flowers coming out, the idea of getting tired of this walk could never be a consideration. We counted 41 different species of wild flower on our walk today, here are some of the images from that walk.

A welsh poppy growing on Shepherd's Bridge.

A lot of gorse around on the walk up to Guards Wood.

There's been some clearing / coppicing on the north eastern edge of the woods, but lots of replanting of hardwoods too.

Looking down to Boon Crag and the lake.

Bluebells in the woods above Boon Crag.

Cowslips don't usually appear around here, so I think someone must have planted this one, but it is flourishing.
