Wollaton Park - .... To The Admiral Rodney
w/e 30 January 2022
All of this week's pictures were taken with a Kodak DX6490
Having reached the lake we
followed the path between the water and the ha-ha wall.
To the left we could see distant birds on the lake and what at
first appeared to be a post sticking up out of the water turned
out to be a inverted swan.
|
To the right and looking across the ha-ha and drain, the Hall
stood out on the skyline with the stable block which we would
eventually reach could be seen to the left and a little lower.
|
As we reached the end of the lake, someone was feeding the birds
and a gentleman with a long lens on his camera was taking photos.
It looked to be quite a heavy piece of equipment - I just made
do with my Kodak DX6490!
|
We dropped some corn at the corner of the lake and immediately
the area was invaded by a gaggle of Canada Geese.
|
While we stood watching the geese feed a number of squirrels
were scampering around and looking for their own source of nourishment.
|
We left the lakeside and made our way up the hill towards the
Hall and the stable block (seen here on the left) which houses
a souvenir shop, cafe and other business enterprises too.
|
Also within the stable block complex which we walked through,
in the Nottingham Industrial Museum.
|
Passing through the stable block we made our way to the car park
and began our exit from the park by walking down the long path
back to Wollaton Road.
|
As we walked down the path we caught our first sight of the deer
that live in the park.
|
  The deer were slowly moving away from the
path but with the aid of the zoom on the camera I managed this
shot of the stag. We left the park and turned left to follow
Wollaton Road into the village centre (left) and passed the Admiral
Rodney pub (right). Our walk wasn't quite over though as we needed
to walk a little further along Wollaton Road to the bus stop
on Trowell Road to catch the bus home.
Back to From the Wheelhouse
