Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

The walk today was a short walk in the grounds of the National Trust property Dunham Massey https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cheshire-greater-manchester/dunham-massey

We were up early, drove to the property and parked in the village of Dunham Massey. Access to the property was over wooden steps into the park – the main car park does not open till 09:00. An early visit is a good idea to avoid the crowds, so arriving at 08:00 ticked that particular box.

It was a crisp, frosty morning.

The park was quiet and we appreciated having it mainly to ourselves for a while. Soon, the jogging fraternity and dog-walkers started to arrive.

Usually there are deer roaming around but this morning they must have been having a lie-in 😊.

We were on a time constraint this morning but managed to walk 4.5 miles. The sun was rising as we were close to finishing.

A nice walk to start the day.

Happy Walking!
