Todays walk
Sadly this whole area will be closed off to the public soon. RollsRoyce will be erecting a hedgerow to block access from the park.

It's Istanbul, looking out over the Sea of Marmara. Start of the sea roads for ships waiting to go through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea.
 
This ancient packhorse bridge is a stones throw from where I live. It's grade II listed and made of local granite with rubble infill. It's just one of 3 in the local area. I sometimes sit on one of its walls and watch a small school of roach lazily swimming against the gentle current, and occasionally rising to take insects from the surface. Immediately beyond is a meadow with a fairly diverse flora. And further beyond that the footpath takes walkers deeper in to Charnwood Forest, amongst wood covered granite hills, and exposed outcrops, and tors.

Wow! I'm not a fan of turning trees into miniatures despite loving all things minute but those are amazing! There must be many years of care gone into their creation.
It looks like a chess game for giants!
