Kedleston Lakeside Walk

The only really sunny day this week was Monday, so I took the opportunity for a short walk along the Lakeside path at Kedleston - the last one for me to explore there.














There are several man-made lakes at Kedleston, the largest having an island in the middle and a boathouse, though no boats nowadays.











This walk leads from the Hall to the bridge and then upstream, past the largest lake and several smaller ones. It's a short walk - two miles or so - but the weather was sunny and we didn't hurry, taking time out to sit and admire the views.






Eventually at a point where the water is only a stream's width, the path turns, over stepping stones (there's a footbridge too for the not-so-confident), and returns along the opposite side of the lakes.









I've now walked all the 'official' paths at Kedleston but I'll be back frequently through autumn and beyond, as the trees change colour with the season.
