Spring wildlife at brackenrigg

Thank you to our guest George Rivers and his wife for these lovely pictures who stayed in May this year. The baby tawny owl is in our wood, and I've added some pictures of the Spring wild flowers. Amazing this year after coppicing the hazel, and putting in some deer fences; there has been an explosion of flowers.....

The delightful red squirrels shots were taken from Bleaberry cottage as the squirrels retrieved hazel nuts from the feeder nearby. Gorgeous photos, thank you!

Stunning Ullswater walk in the snow: Griesdale, Silver How and Paterdale. Roads are clear, and the fells are gorgeous in the sunshine.

Easedale Tarn and Far Easedale - Christmas 2014

A beautiful quiet walk up to Easedale Tarn, and to the fells beyond, and back via Far Easedale. Snow on the fells around, water falls full....and not a soul around. A lovely easy fell walk.

Cycle to Mungriesdale

Easy cycle from Brackenrigg Holiday Cottages, along railway line, up the gated road to Mungriesdale and on to Mosedale. Quiet gated roads and quiet lanes, beautiful still sunny day. Home by dark to light the fire and settle in with crumpets and Borrowdale tea bread. Yum! www.brackenrigg.com

A perfect day

Oh, what a perfect day.......I'd like to spend it with you!

Another sparkling Autumn late afternoon walk: a small peak towards Pillar. Stunning landscape, beautiful weather, so good to be outdoors!
