Skelwith Bridge, England

The mini village of Skelwith Bridge is easy to access by a one-mile walk from the Skelwith Fold Caravan Park where we were staying. 

A shorter walk than the day before into Ambleside, but still beautifully rural with the fall leaves turning color and sheep grazing in the background.

These bee hives caught my attention. With the chill in the air, I expect the bees were getting ready for their winter's rest.

It wouldn't be proper English countryside without sheep.

A massive oak tree with English ivy growing up its trunk. Sometimes we walked on a footpath as in the photo above. Other times we walked along the road. I cannot remember any kind of traffic - just a quiet walk.

The tiny village of Skelwith Bridge is comprised of homes, a bar, a hotel, and a community hall. Somehow we missed the actual bridge. We must not have walked far enough or missed a turn.

Seeing fuchsias blooming in mid-fall just didn't seem right to me. These appeared quite happy and healthy.

I believe the light green leaves growing on this stone house are wisteria. I'd love to see it blooming in the summertime.

Snapdragon blooms set in a rocky spot. Apparently frost had not nipped the flowers yet.
