Today in Pictures, A walk I thought would only be about an hour turned into over two, and even then I didn't cover all the area. More of a surprise was that I didn't know it was here, and how big an area it covered.

1. Start point, the signal box at Huncoat.
2. A left turn takes you into the Colliery site.
3. Some fragments of buildings remain, but not enough to say what they were.
4. Taking a right turn over a style, it opens up to huge area.
5. Wild flowers abound.
6. Not many Buttercups though.
7. Grass seed heads, I have no idea what variety.
8. Mayflowers.
9. I found a wooded stream.
10. A hidden gem, that requires a return visit.

I have used my allocation for today, so as I will be busy for the next two days will post the remainder then, the stream and beyond. (check the panoramic thread for a few more)

They have an interesting collection of old agricultural machinery, a restored gun from WW2 and one of the old mill wheels in the gardens of the mill. My son has been inside as his friend's girlfriend lives there -he told me the old millstones are inside the house as a feature.
