Saturday 12th April 2014









More sun but with a chill today, ideal conditions for the walking, ahead of us today.
Arrived at Trentham Park mid morning in time to board the 11am sailing of an electric catamaran which sailed close to a Heronry on an Island in the large lake. Only sailed one way as wished to walk the wild part of the lake. Rich in wildlife, spotting a Duck that I have never seen before and unable to identify. My mate Doug I am sure will help me.
The lake walk finishes at the Italian gardens which have recently seen a complete makeover after 200 years of neglect. The now derelict Trentham Hall is soon to be completely re-built as was when built in 1830 and will now be a 5 star Hotel.
Could have stayed all day but was commit ed to visiting the medieval town of Nantwich. What a delightful town. Job to believe the town was re-built in 1583 after the Great Fire. I am sure Nantwich and the area is someplace I will re-visit some day.
Arrived back at the hotel late afternoon after a very enjoyable day.
