Bowood (Sunday 29th August 2021)

It is now some years since I had an annual pass into Bowood House and Grounds, which I used to consider my 'back garden' and is partly visible from my study window. There are public footpaths that cross some of the estate beyond the grounds which I still occasionally visit and from which parts of the Lake can be reached but they are quite long and only parts of the walk are rewarding.
On Sunday though I parked in their car park, hoping to get some shots of horses or sheep in the adjacent fields, and found a new path had been created that allowed one in a couple of minutes to get to a right of way that otherwise would take 25 minutes or so to walk to from the nearest access point. I was able to walk up to the heronry and on to my normal destination at the Lake in less than half-on-hour. This sheep was in a field that the footpath shared, and when I reached the Lake I could see a  swan in the distance and a vast number of Canada geese in the field below Bowood House.
I was slightly pressed for time as the car park is locked shortly after the admission times for the House, but next time I can do the walk earlier in the day now I know about it.
I took pictures with two cameras but have discovered that one of them had a "memory card error" so none of those exist - another reason to return, hopefully when the weather is less dull.
