A Walk To Ipstones & Foxt

Today we set off for another walk from the house, this time heading north towards Ipstones. It was nice and sunny as we walked through Moseymoor Wood A lake in Cloughhead Wood A beautiful Cherry Blossom tree as we reach Ipstones We realise how few big old trees there are in the Lake District

We walked through the beautifully kept village of Ipstones before heading off on the Staffordshire Moorlands Walk again

Gentle rolling countryside

We reached Foxt & had a drink in The Fox & Goose before finding this beautiful spot for lunch

Great exercise for the dogs chasing down this hill after a stick

We dropped down from Foxt to Shirley Brook

We crossed this rather than having to climb it

Before climbing up to another beck & the dismantled railway we finished on yesterday

Wild garlic is everywhere here

Crag resting on our return, enjoying his first floor vantage point over the canal & towpath

We will take the car into the Peak District for a walk tomorrow
