Marton Mere Holiday Village - ///goat.gentle.maybe
White Cross Bay Holiday Park - Windermere, ///blanks.impeached.shows
My first time for a holiday at this location. The ParkDean Resort has a Marina on the shore of Windermere and a Deer Park with Nature Trails. Bus Stops at the gates so handy for going down to Windermere Station or Bowness Pier where you can cruise the lake; getting on and off where you fancy. Or head up to Keswick passing through Ambleside, Rydal, Grasmere, Thirlmere. The accessible caravan was good and the wet room was just the job for sitting under the shower after my enjoyable walks.
I took the opportunity to have a look at Parkdean Resorts Fallbarrow Holiday Park. The location was even better than White Cross. It was within walking distance of Bowness Pier; which can be the starting point for various adventures. It's too expensive for a Birthday week but one to watch for special offers. 👁️
Towpath Entrance via Kissing Gate ///tracks.link.froze
I was in Chester for an a.m. Dental Appointment and decided to spend the rest of the day paying my first visit to Chester Wetland. The wetland is inside the Countess of Chester Country Park and is bisected by the Shropshire Union Canal. The Parkgate Road entrance is 200 yards from a Bus Stop with many other access points around the Park. You can also walk along the towpath from City Road if you're not overloaded with "stuff". 2.5 mile walk and there's a bench at the gate so you can rehydrate and take aboard some protein.
To be continued.
Gale-force winds and torrential rain plus near freezing temperatures hindered the bird watching part of my holiday. However I enjoyed the break and will return to the area when conditions allow. A good Park in an excellent location and, to be honest, would need more than a mid-week break to see all the local birding hotspots; in good weather that is!
The Lodge was about twice the size of an old folks bungalow and I could happily live in one of these. It was also right on the sea front. What3Words ///running.triathlon.coast
