We really enjoyed the May Bank Holiday and the weather certainly helped!
It was so lovely to see lots of cute ducklings and newly hatched Canadian geese goslings.
Duxbury Park and Woods are just a short walk from bridge 74. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the grounds and came across the a memorial erected by Susan Standish in 1870 in remembrance of her dog Bevis with the inscription:
All ye who wander through these peaceful glades,
Listening to the Yarrow’s rippling waves,
Pause and bestow a tributary tear.
The bones of faithful Bevis slumber here.”
Listening to the Yarrow’s rippling waves,
Pause and bestow a tributary tear.
The bones of faithful Bevis slumber here.”
On the return journey stayed overnight just outside Adlington and enjoyed (as always) an indian take way from 'Adlington Spice'
