Bleaton Hallet - Open Garden

On a sunny Sunday afternoon in June, I made my way up the road to Bleaton Hallet. By chance I had seen that the old 'lost' gardens were to be opened to the public. The original house is now long gone, but the remains of what must have been spectacular gardens remain, reclaimed by nature.





































North Wood - Kinclaven Bluebell wood

If you are ever in Perthshire in May, a lovely walk is North wood at Kinclaven. A great stroll any time of the year, but particularly stunning when the Bluebell's are showing. It is a pleasant easy circular with the added bonus of a tree swing.

Grandtully - Tay Forest Park

A few weeks ago I went for a walk at Grandtully Forest, there is parking available. That particular day the weather moved between blizzard conditions and bright sunshine, so made it more interesting.  I had uploaded a few geocaches into my ancient garmin gps with the aim to 'get a few'. It was a pleasant stroll through forestry plantations then a gradual climb up to a viewpoint with several cairns. I failed in my geocache search, technology said I was on them but it was a fail from me.
