Looking for new walks not too far away from home, I thought we'd try this:-
http://www.countryfile.com/walk/smardale-gill-cumbria-yorkshire-dalesWell, I can't recommend it highly enough, especially to those that love wildlife, and flowers in particular. 7 miles in the Yorkshire Dales in Cumbria, (yes, I know!) Just brilliant at this time of year.
Herewith a few pics. Start of the walk, looking over to Smardale Gill Viaduct
And this is Melancholy Thistle
Marsh Orchid
Rock Rose
Bloody Cranesbill
Crossing the viaduct
From the other side
Bird's Eye Primrose
Looking back at the end
As I said, I couldn't recommend this one highly enough. We've even decided to buy one one of the houses on route (when we win the lottery). Will happily go back and do this one again and again.
