It’s not a park in the usual sense of the word. Levens Park is the ancestral home of the Bagot Family who maintain a footpath along both sides of the often turbulent River Kent as it winds its last mile out to join the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay.

The ‘park’ is the perfect place to walk the collie. A round trip from Sedgwick takes three hours, so it’s a great benefit that the Bagot’s manor house – Levens Hall – has a tea room. Sadly, it only allows dogs in the open courtyard. We’ve got used to dining outside… even in this dog-friendly region.

There are usually a few days at the end of April when the bright sun and spring greens make this place a joy to photograph.
Today was one of them…

Looks like the perfect place to walk the dog. We eat and have coffee outside all the time, even in the rain, as we always have our dogs with us. Fortunately, it doesn’t rain that often in Spain.

Indeed and lucky me gets to enjoy both. I’ll be in the UK, having a double winter (hehe) this December. Only in Suffolk though, as we are taking care of my cousin’s farm and her mom (my aunt).
