Walking in Burroughs Woods near Ratby 10/04/26

 Nice day for a walk, a little chilly not much sun.

Off we go - tarmac path to start with. Nice and gentle.

We turn off to the left just down here.

Into the woods and it is down to single file.

The owner of this property decided on having a proper gate-way with electric buttons etc.

Nice show of tulips before we continue our journey.  

Just time for a groupie

Woodland flowers galore.

Into the bluebell woods.

Wonderful display of bluebells,

Photo opportunity. 

We just stood admiring the show - and it's free.

There is more.

Got to move on.

More photo opportunities. 

Making our way out of the woods.

On towards the golf club.

Radical changes at the golf club.

Coffee and tea are good here.

On our way back across the golf course.

See you all next week.

One of our favourite walks - always beautiful.
