Richmond & Reeth

Good weather meant a day out ...

This is the town of Richmond about an hour from Ellingstring

Richmond's town square.

 Anne browsing the shops.

We walked around the town and down by the Castle to the river.

The town and countryside is very picturesque.

With all the rain the river had plenty of water. The brownish colour is due to the peat in the local soil.

 A good looking river through the town.

Anne was successful in the art of skimming stones!

Anne just had to have a plodge!

Moving on to Reeth for a pub lunch. 

Waiting for our food at the Black Bull. Yes, that sign has been upside down for years! 

The Black Bull and another pub right next door.

 The beautiful setting of Reeth.

On the way back to Ellingstring across the moors. 

This was looking back towards the town of Reeth.

Sheep seemed not to care about the occasional passing car. 

Mind you, sheep are not the only obstructions on these country lanes!
