Fleeting visit to #Royden this morning. Walled garden open but part of the loop around Frankby Mere cordoned off. Coffee and carbs at the arboretum.

A wooden bench sits alone on a grassy patch surrounded by various trees and greenery under a cloudy sky. A forest path covered with fallen leaves is surrounded by dense trees and some caution tape blocking the way further ahead. A narrow dirt path winds through a densely wooded forest with green-leaved trees and scattered fallen leaves on the ground. A calm lake surrounded by dense trees, some with autumn-colored leaves, reflects the overcast sky and foliage. A small tree with vibrant orange and yellow leaves stands in a grassy area surrounded by taller trees with autumn foliage.
