Seaton Sluice & Holywell Dene

Our leap year day walk set off from Seaton Sluice and after a bit of roadside strolling past Seaton Delaval hall we hit the extra muddy track to Holywell village. Unfortunately the blogger forgot his camera this time so these pics are by Terry.


The weather could have been a lot worse.



They are kind to birds around these parts - there were hides, viewing holes (above) and feeding stations aplenty.


And here we are feasting amongst the trees in Holywell Dene. Someone from Marys Choir walked past a few minutes later.



It was quite sheltered which might explain this early display of daffodils. After 5 miles we returned to Seaton Sluice for drinks and a roaring fire at the Kings Head. The sun was still shining so we took a short walk along the beach back to the car park and home. A pleasant way to say goodbye to  winter if you follow the met office and call 1 March the start of spring.

Next walk is April 4th (venue to be announced).
