Walkies!

Somebody is enjoying his ride in the car!

This is part of the trail  through the trees. 

It was lovely and shady on a hot day.

A glorious stand of very poisonous foxgloves - shades of Ellis Peters' book, Monk's Hood!

The sound of the  water was lovely.

Amongst the trees were lots of carvings.

Some were very hard to photograph well.

A hidden and somewhat tumbledown- seeming cottage, 

which is in fact a set of toilets accessible from the other side. 

I rather liked this one :-) 

Even the fallen trees had been carved with patterns and designs.

We were surprised to see the deer so close, and were glad our dog was safely on his lead.

They would not let us get very close, which was just as well. I would not have wanted either them or our dear Basil to be scared.

 The entrance to the rare breeds farm trail.

A very fine cockerel.

We saw lots of sheep......

And a super, very friendly turkey!

Edited to add these photos were taken on two separate visits to Margam Park - one day was very sunny, one was a bit cloudy :-) 

More to follow!
