ce gentle circular today - Parked up on Upper Raby Road and set off along School Lane. An easy, wide path that goes dead straight and runs behind Hinderton Grange towards Quarry Road. A few blue bells and plenty of new leaves give the lane a soft edge. This is Neston FP65.
Turn left at the end of School Lane and proceed along Quarry Road - and ahead you will see the impressive sandstone buildings on the sharp bend where Quarry Road road turns right and Bluebell Lane goes straight on, becoming a bridleway (Neston BR60).
We turned left through the kissing gate and along the edge of the field, following the hedge. (Ellesmere Port FP43) The hedge hides an interesting drain that appears to have a sandstone wall on at least one side. There was some beautiful pink blossom in amongst the hedge that smelt as good as it looked.
The path soon turns right and through the hedge (and into Merseyside) and we find ourselves in a bluebell strewn wood, the path winding around trees and then along the side of cow fields where we saw a hare and there was just one drill from a woodpecker. Sadly the sun choose to go behind clouds at that point, so we missed out on the pictures we were after, better try again next week.
The path turns sharp right and by now is Neston FP59, and passes Field House and Cherry Farm before bringing us back where we started. A nice little circular.
