24/04/2026 Walking around the Outwoods near Loughbourgh

 

Beautiful bright morning. Ideal for a walk out with friends.

Off we go.

                                       

A lot of tree thinning has taken place.

                                

Views of Loughborough in the distance.

And the now defunct power station just over the border in Nottingham.

We were checking out the bluebells here.  Not as many and as dense as in Burroughs Woods in Ratby but still rather beautiful.

A welcome seat almost at the top of the hill so an excellent photo opportunity too good to miss.

Back on track.

                

Getting down for the close-up.

Enjoying the sunshine outside of the cafe.
