Tomorrow on my post I will tell you more about the new
woodland walk at Mount Stewart, near Newtownards,
however today I will show you a rusted gate/fense and stone Folly that we found on our walk deep in the woods.
I was lagging behind a bit taking photographs and Sue,
my friend who I met at the beginning of the trail and Jenny, my Volunteering
and Community Development Manager and her husband arrived at The Folly ahead of
me.
A team will be researching into what the family used this
Folly for.
Please look in tomorrow to hear and see more
photographs of this newly opened beautiful woodland walk and thanks for joining
me today.
I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES.
Many thanks for all you leave comments on this post.
How I would love to walk that walk...

ReplyDeleteThe ruins of a folly in a woodland does seem very romantic. It will be interesting to research its history.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place!
ReplyDeleteWow that was so interesting. The rusty fencing is cool and I'm not sure what a "folly" is but it certainly was unique and such a lovely place to explore.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have no idea what a folly is, but it certainly would make for an interesting walking area.
ReplyDeleteLove the ruins of the folly - would love to know if anything of interest is found out about it. A great post :)
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this post. Just love the last two photos - what's beyond the arches, what secrets lay there? It's hard to capture intrigue but you've done it.
