One of our walking places.
This is one of the places we take ours for a walk, it's one of our favorate places. It's huge area gives us lots of alternate walks, and we never get fed up with going there. We live about five miles from it.
It's called Bradgate Park, and was once the home of Lady Jane Grey, Who was Queen for nine days, and beheaded along with her husband and father, by Mary Queen Of Scots.
This is Old John. Its built in the shape of a beer tankard, it was named after John who was incharge of the beer and hops inside it. He often got trolleyed in there and one day fell to his death.
The ruins of Lady Jane Greys house.
This old Oak tree is said to of had Queen Adelaide, the widow of William iv, picnic under it in 1846.
The rest are pictures of some of the scenery in Bradgate Park.
And a couple of our dogs, enjoying a drink after one of their walks there.
