Wednesday 20 November 2024 - Around Dunham

This afternoon we had the pleasure of catching up with Bianca and Ernst, with whom we enjoyed a 6km stroll from their house to Altrincham, via Seamons Bridge, the canal towpath, Little Heath Farm by the Axe and Cleaver pub, then Dunham golf course and Dunham New Park.

Late afternoon sun made for a dazzling stroll along the towpath from Seamons Bridge to the next bridge along the canal.

Swans glided past, much to the surprise of Bianca and Ernst. But they do live here!

Some of these pictures have been provided by Bianca and Ernst. My camera has seen far too much use recently!

We stopped at the Little Heath Farm shop, then passed the Axe and Cleaver to reach the school building that was erected in 1759.

Across the road, St Mark's church, with its delicate spire.

Winter greens

Apparently an old oak tree like this one can be home to up to 1000 different species.

Eventually we joined the main road near St Margarets, where Sue is one of the regular bellringers.

Then we strolled into Altrincham and enjoyed refreshments at So Marrakech.

So ended a most enjoyable 'blue sky' day.
