Robin in the woods at Bolton Abbey

This is a viewpoint high above the river Wharfe, close to the Strid, at Bolton Abbey. There's a bench just next to it, but I prefer to sit on the ground further back to watch the birds that hop around the area picking up seeds.

Waterfall in the valley of desolation

This lovely waterfall is at the head of the 'Valley of Desolation' at Bolton Abbey. I took the photo last week on a cold, sunny day. It's the first time I've visited this waterfall and I'll definitely return - I'm keen to see the differences in the surrounding foliage as the seasons change.

This is also the first photo I've posted on here using my new camera - a Nikon D7200 - I love it!

Early Autumn on the River Wharfe at Bolton Abbey

Here's another picture from my visit to Bolton Abbey last week - a much wider stretch of the river this time. The leaves are just starting to change colour - I'd love to go back in a few weeks to get the full Autumn palette.

Bubble trail along the River Wharfe downstream from the Strid at Bolton Abbey

Yesterday I visited lovely Bolton Abbey for the first time in many years. The Strid is a section of the river Wharfe where the huge volume of water rushes through a narrow, rocky gap. Although the Strid is dramatic and definitely worthy of photos, I was actually more drawn to this section, just downstream from it, where the river gradually widens again. The frothy bubbles produced by the force of the water above form a white trail down the centre of the river.
