Halton to Hallington

A lovely walk again today. The weather is near perfect for walking. I will be picked up in a while, to be taken to my accommodation. Meantime, I'm surrounded by swallows and house martins, sitting on a grassy bank, leaning on a beautifully built dry stone wall, with my backpack as a comfortable cushion!
The hamlet of Hallington has about 3 farms, 2 houses and a manor house!

The walk today has been very pleasant (though much of the signposting has been vague at best, and often non existent!) I ended up being very thankful for my St Oswald's Way map and my OS app, reaching my destination in good time. The wildlife has been both very varied and rather exciting included dozens of skylarks, curlew, hares, roe deer and even two swarms of bees sitting comfortably in a tree!
So special to be alone in God's creation!Read more
