Early morning stroll around New Islington & Ancoats
As we enter a different world for an unknown period of time, its still important to get some fresh air and a little bit of exercise. This morning I took a short stroll around New Islington and Ancoats in Manchester. Its early on a Sunday morning so would normally be quiet but some of this pictures include the Manchester Inner Ring Road (Great Ancoats Street) and 8:30am.

River Wharfe & The Bolton Abbey Estate
A collection of photos from a few days staying at and exploring around the Bolton Abbey Estate in North Yorkshire.
Bolton Abbey takes its name from the ruins of the 12th-century Augustinian monastery now known as Bolton Priory. The priory, closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII.
The 33,000 acre (134 km2) estate contains six areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, including Strid Wood, an ancient woodland (mainly oak), which contains the length of the River Wharfe known as The Strid, and a marine fossil quarry.

Stainforth, North Yorkshire
Tuesday.
A return visit to Stainforth on the first day of a short break in the Yorkshire Dales.
Stainforth is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated north of Settle. Nearby there is a waterfall, Stainforth Force, where the river falls over limestone ledges into a deep, broad pool which can be accessed by walking a short way from the village.
On my last visit in October 2014 there were multiple Salmon leaping the waterfalls. This visit there only seemed to be one lonely salmon struggling (and failing) to leap the falls.
