What visitors say
One of my favourite easy walks. Ponds, swans, ducks, cows and (as Jeremy Clarkson would say) sheeps. Not to mention a lovely pub at the Hardwick inn. Stay away. I like that's it's not crowded

The Wobbly Wander had a couple of days to himself so he decided as it was a sunny day to have a late afternoon wander around Hardwick Pond. The going was good considering the weather of late the paths were passable without problems. The pond was quite full and overflowing in all the right places which made good photos. There was ample wildlife on the ponds a couple of Swans Canada Geese and plenty of 🦆🦆🦆🦆. The area wasn't busy with people so it was a very enjoyable afternoon stroll in the pale sunshine.
