Pleasant early morning walk in #Royden as temperatures drop closer to summer norms. Up to Thor’s Stone and adjacent Thor’s Pebble (?) Shaggy cows in the shade and some cute ducklings on the mere. Raspberry scone at Benty’s v nice and surely 1 of my 5 a day?

A peaceful meadow bordered by a wooden fence is viewed through a frame of dense green foliage and tree branches. A dirt path winds through a lush green forest with large reddish rocks and a slender birch tree beside the trail. Three white cows are standing and grazing among the trees in a forested area. A pond covered with lily pads is surrounded by lush greenery, with a wooden structure visible on the opposite side. Ducklings in the foreground.
