Re: Todays walk..........


Its an old estate, the house had its roof removed in 1953 and has been left since, the gardens are very overgrown, bit still have lots of roddys just begining to flower....


This is what it used to look like many years ago...Its been uninhabited since 1932.......

That looks a lovely walk Moli, nice to see the bluebells in all their glory.

The house must have been quite grand in its time, the architecture is unusual...

What beautiful places you have to walk Moli But I agree, what a waste of a beautiful house (though I must admit I do love a good ruin!)

Re: Todays walk..........


Those bluebells are out of this world, such natural beauty and your buterfly captured so well! Dogs look well against the bluebells! Are you never tempted to bring a bunch of bluebells home?

Shame about the house, something hauntingly beautiful about it. Do you know its history or anything about it, why its been let go?

Great photos Moli - those doggies are really having a good time. It is a shame about the old house ..... quite romantic-looking, just needs a bit more ivy growing up it, and a few bats!

Re: Todays walk..........


How lovely to see the girls again, and what a restful place to walk, love the bluebells, and what is it with rhododendrons in Scotland they appear to be everywhere is it the soil and they are native or have they been introduced as landscaping at some time in the past.


A lovely house I wonder why it was left to go to ruin.
And what are you doing up a tree in picture 5 and in picture 7 has someone painted the tree????
