This walk was recommended to me by a follower of this blog and we finally got around to walking it. A stunning riverside walk on a lovely day.
A lovely wide tranquil river, it must change dramatically in spate.
The "Roman Bridge"...
...A 17th or 18th century bridge locally alleged to be Roman.
A beautiful spot for a picnic
Hes always trying to get a better shot than me...
...and him!
Spot the Long Tailes Tit
Not a very easy bridge to cross, especially with a pack horse!
A pair of Dippers were spotted but we didnt manage to get very close.
Reflections were lovely
I spotted this reflection on the waters edge...
...turned sideways it looks like a mask!
Snow still on the Galloway Hills
Clumps of snowdrops on the banks
Our turning point, not such a pretty bridge. We now followed the Southern Upland Way back through the woods on the other side of the river.
Interesting lichen.
Stile not style!
Hooray we found a Waymerk Kist
..and still with waymerks inside-Treasure!
On the home stretch we heard some birds in the trees, it was a small flock of Crossbills, a lovely way to end a glorious walk.
