Friday 17th October
This week's walk was by the River Wharfe from Bolton Abbey to Barden Tower and back.

It was perfect walking weather and the trees were just taking on their Autumnal colours.


We left the riverside to take a short detour so that we could have a closer look at Barden Tower. It was rebuilt by Lady Anne Clifford in 1658 and looks sturdy, though roofless, today


The Strid was flowing well and the mossy rocks were like green velvet.

We stopped at the bird hide downstream and were rewarded with a close up view of a kingfisher.
