A perfect Spring Light, the beauty and magic of Shipley Hill/Horsepool Hill.

As I currently write this, well the "delightful Spring skies and sunshine" have somewhat disappeared and instead the grey weather has seemingly returned. But it was on Wednesday the 5th of March 2026 that a visit to Shipley Country Park was on the cards, this time again it was time to explore Shipley Hill/Horsepool Hill - but this time the direction of the walk was in a somewhat "Anti Clockwise" manner, and walking around well what did I encounter? Well for a start a glorious and delightful Spring Light, combined of course with delightful works of art that nature provides, and below are the photos that I captured.
