We got up early this morning for a walk which included a visit to Hitch Wood to see the bluebells.
We parked at nearby Preston and set off across the fields on a ramble round the area.
While the views weren't quite as breath-taking as the Peak District scenery we enjoyed last week, they were still absolutely stunning in their own right.
Our next stop was Hill End Chalk Pit, a small, abandoned chalk quarry that's now designated as a Local Wildlife Site. It's also a significant regional geological site, known for the numerous fossils that have been found there.
Back along the footpath we soon reached Hitch Wood. While the bluebells were past their peak, they still looked good.
I loved this bug house which we spotted.
The bark on this tree was unusual.
