A calm lake surrounded by trees, seen from the bank

Our second walk from Champneys Henlow Grange, this time leaving the resort in a different direction. As we approached the public footpath we saw lots of people running past and quickly deduced, having checked our watches, that we’d found a ParkRun. We chose to head around the lake in the opposite direction. After speaking to a steward we learned they were doing two and a half laps of the lake, so as we walked around we started to see some familiar people, and lots of lovely dogs. This was a lovely walk, and it was nice to almost loop around the water.

Grasses trailing in the current of a shaded stream

Gorgeous to stand and watch the water for a while.

A small weir with water cascading over it, framed by trees

Having a weir almost in the resort makes for a gorgeous background sound.
