Tuesday 21st September
We decided to go for a day out by the coast and on the way found Burton Agnes Hall where we were very impressed by the grounds.

We explored the walled garden which contains varities of flowers, shrubs, fruit and vegetables as well as giant games and a maze.


We then drove on to Flamborough Head and walked along the clifftop path.

We got a good view of the beaches and there were quite a few bird watchers spread out along the edge.

Sunday 12th September
As it was Open Heritage Weekend we decided to visit Temple Newsam for a look around the gardens and greenhouses.


The weather was glorious and lots of people were out enjoying the sunshine.

Saturday 4th September
We spent most of the day exploring Leeds. We did an hour long round open top bus trip, starting and finishing at The Armouries. There was a very interesting taped commentary which informed us about all the places that we were passing.



After a quick lunch at The Armouries, we caught 'The Black Prince' for a half hour ride up to Granary Wharfe passing many interesting buildings and a few fishermen.

When we arrived at Granary Wharfe we saw this barge passing through the lock which was operational even though very overgrown.
We spent an hour in town before catching the boat back.
