Silverdale and Leighton Moss

I took a break from the madness of the year list, and we headed up to Silvedale for one of our favourite walks on a glorious February day. We walked from Crag Foot (near the car park for the saltmarsh hides at Leighton Moss), through ancient woodland and up and over the back of Warton Crag to Leighton Hall and then down across the causeway to Leighton Moss visitor centre.

After lunch, we crossed the golf course and made our way to Jack Scout, via Woodwell and Gibralter Farm. From Jack Scout we followed the road around, past Jenny Brown's point and crossed the saltmarsh at Quaker's Stang to return to the car.

Green Woodpeckers were yaffling at Leighton Hall.......... year 135.


You get some fantastic views of Leighton Moss on this walk.


Snowdrops are now in full flower.
