Setting out beside Dean Brook . . .
our route took us past Greengore, a 17th century hunting lodge
Looking back to Pendle Hill
Temporary repair!?
Is this the latest in garden features?
Lots of sbowdrops - but not quite open yet
Spire Hill . . .
with great views to the Chipping Fells
An unusual feature on our descent . . .
