Frolicking Around the English Countryside

Today we took another traipse through the farms around Lancaster. It was the 'Forest of Bowland', although it is not really a forest, but an expanse of farm land. Apparently the word 'forest' was used to describe the king's hunting grounds originally.


The church nearby. Home to an award-winning gate. Yep, you heard me, GATE. Picture of said gate featured later. 
















The award-winning gate..


..the plaque describing its award for creativity.





And at the end of every countryside walk, there lies a pub. I recommend the cider.
