Bury Transport Museum: Part 1 of 3

My first ever visit to the Bury Transport Museum, coincided with their annual 1940's weekend. 


Inside the Museum, packed with all sorts of exhibits, large and small. It was a challenge at times to take photographs as some of the exhibits were displayed quite close together. 
The Royal Mail.

Continuing our wander around Holehird Gardens ..... 
The gardens are extremely well kept as can be seen from above.

Into the wooded area. Unfortunately following a few days rain, the path was really muddy and slippery. We had to abandon walking all the way around the trail.

Holehird Gardens: Part 1 of 3

Holehird Gardens is located near Windermere on the road to the Kirkstone Pass. 


There is much to see and photograph whatever the time of the year of your visit. 
The Lakeland fells in the distance. 
You can freely wander around the gardens and woodland area. 

The paths make for easy walking. 



There are a few benches to rest for a while.
