Mike's Meanderings

Thank you all, I'm pleased you liked my photos. I am not a good photographer so can't show you the others, they're hopeless
... so I'll show some from my next walk

 

Lovely photo's Michael and it's good to see the unspoilt parts of Britain we still have.

 

One recent sunny afternoon I went to have a look at Parc Dinefwr, at Llandeilo near here. It belongs to the National Trust now.

Newton House ...





Dinefwr Castle in the distance ...



I was going to walk to it but took the wrong path so I'll try again another day !

Herd of white cattle living in the park grounds ...





Sweet Chestnut ...



Lichen ...



Some views ...







I found the old cottage where my ancestors lived in the 19th century, it is part of the park and is let out for holidays now. It was vacant on the day I saw it.



I hope you enjoyed these photos, some are not very good because the sun was in the wrong place.

 

Lovely wander Michael and what a beautiful cottage. I am partial to old cottages. A fine day you had too. Keep them coming.

 

I like the style of Newton House, a mixture of era's I think? A lovely area for a walk too.

 

Lovely pictures @Michael Hewett , Diolch , its beautiful down your way

 

What a beautiful place and looks to be a very relaxing place to escape to. The white cattle really stand out against the background.
Love the cottage it looks like it's very well maintain, have you actually been inside as I was wondering if it's been modernised or kept in it's original manner?

 

Thanks everyone, I'm pleased you all enjoyed my photos, it helps me go out more

Yes that's right, it has been altered a lot over the centuries. It is apparently built on the site of an early mediaeval mansion.

It has been modernised inside @Upsydaisy and is let out for holidays by the National Trust. I haven't been inside. It was vacant and locked up when I saw it.

 

@Michael Hewett ,..very enjoyable wander,..'Newton House' looks very Fairylike or Gothic,..beautiful Cottage as well,..alas mine is nothing ike that

 

I'm sure you live in a lovely cottage @glengarry23 ... it isn't where we live, it's what we make of it, we have to make the best of what we've got.
I once lived in a very old cottage, walls about 2 ft thick lol it was very plain but comfortable and I enjoyed living there.

I think Newton House looks creepy

Thanks for commenting on my photos ...

 

An autumn day near Cilsan (but not today, it's emptying down !)







Bovine friends



Equine friends





Hogweed ...



Autumn colours ...






I hope these colourful autumn photos have brightened up a dismal afternoon

 

Stunning scenery Michael, love that winding river, has it a name?

 

Thank you @Upsydaisy, the river is the Tywi and it is the longest river whose whole length is entirely in Wales. It enters the Bristol Channel south of Carmarthen.

 

A pretty area Michael.

 

Thank you @Sheal, yes the terrain is very gentle around there.
