Still seeking out softer woodland trails so back to #Royden once more. Water in the stream for the first time after last night’s deluge. Pleased to see the walled garden open, then coffee at the courtyard cafe.

Looking up a woodland path with tall trees and wall to left, iron railings to right. Ditch with water flowing slowly between two banks covered with leaves and a tree trunk visible at the top. Small jetty in foreground with lake beyond surrounded by trees reflected in water. Edge of walled garden on right overlooked by tall stone tower. Wall covered with foliage. Pot with sign in foreground, shrubs and trees beyond, nearest ones in pots
