Dunham Massey is only fifteen minutes from where we are this weekend so we spent the afternoon here. There are lovely walks around the gardens and the deer park.

Fine weather tempted us up into the Dales and our first stop was Malham Cove.
These walkers are following the edge of the dry valley above the cove.
We crossed the end of this valley on our walk to the tarn.
Malham Tarn, facing the study centre that was visited by Charles Kingsley when it was a private house. Malham Cove was the inspiration for his book 'The Water Babies'.
We drove across the tops and down into the Ribble Valley with these magnificent views lit up by the evening sunshine.

Ripon Cathedral is again hosting The Great North Art Show. We enjoyed the varied styles of work on display.

While we were looking at the art work, the cathedral choir was rehearsing and it created a stirring atmosphere throughout the whole building.

Although it is nearby, this is the first time that we have visited Ripley Castle. The view across the lake from the castle is lovely, with many birds and deer at the waters edge.

The walled garden was a lovely sun trap with impressive mixed borders.
The Palm House was built in the early nineteenth century and it is also the entrance to the long hothouse.
At one end of the kitchen garden this colourful wildflower area has been created.

We drove through Pateley Bridge and a couple of miles up the hill on the road out to Skipton. From the footpath the view across Nidderdale was stunning.
We took careful note of the direction and distance to Nairobi from one of the viewing towers.
Back down near the car park we explored the big old Lime Kiln which makes good use of the landscape.
