  2. Cottage rooftops and chimney pots among the trees on the Cragside Estate at Rothbury, Northumberland.
    Nearby is the real crowd-puller, the Tudor Revival country house that was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm.
    However, the estate, which is in the care of the National Trust, covers a large area of Northumbrian countryside that is criss-crossed with miles of paths and a drive-through route.
    Meanwhile, a number of these cottages, which were once homes to estate workers, are now given over to holiday accommodation.

  3. Mist

    a lake
    
    filled with fish shadows
    swimming in dark depths
    across a bottom covered with
    green creeping algae
    
    weeping willows press close
    moss hangs from branches 
    looming over the water
    where the wet roots of the trees 
    grip fungus covered rocks
     
    a mist slowly rises pale and thick
    from the glistening surface
    forms appear and vanish within
    weaving to and fro like ghosts
    swimming up into the night sky
    
    a white blanket spreads slowly
    over the sleeping countryside
    swirling around houses
    and slipping into chimneys
    across the silent hearthstones
    until the rising sun
    burns it away

  5. The main #RailwayStation is #Totnes is on the main line from #London #Paddington to #Penzance. There’s also a minor connecting line which has a much smaller station, which is sort of like a #museum. You can get to it via a #footbridge.

  6. Yesterday, back with my usual group – the @Metwalkers (I Walktober'd about 40 miles this weekend! 😳) and we saw just how much #countryside is within easy reach of #Overground lines!

    Along with portentous #alpacas and a #heron out standing in its field (in the #rain, but he don't care).

These towns are perfect for travelers seeking luxury India tours, offbeat experiences, and scenic escapes. Whether you’re planning a Golden Triangle tour in India, a wildlife holiday in India, or an immersive India tour package, […]

  10. Lovely episode of BBC Scotland’s #Landward, available on the iPlayer, celebrating 40 years since classic Scottish #film #LocalHero was made. Including great content from key location in #Pennan in #Aberdeenshire. As well as a related segment where photographer Shabhaz tracks down red phone boxes in #Angus. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001 #Movies #Films #FilmLocations #FilmingLocations #Scotland #ScottishCinema #ScottishFilms #Phoneboxes #RedPhoneboxes #Countryside #RuralLife

  11. Views like this keep me sane. I live in a city, and this is the view from a local park, over tree-lined streets, the river valley, other green spaces, and out into the countryside.

    These views are so important, and I believe they should be designed and protected in all town plans. They allow me to connect with something wider, and escape into nature just a 5 minute walk away from home.
