Brandon Country Park - Revisited

It was a lovely hot sunny day today and we just had to get out for a walk this afternoon, Brandon Country Park is a favourite place to go when we've got a couple of hours or so. It's not too far from Bury St Edmunds (up the B1106 past Centerparcs here - just before you get to Brandon) and has plenty of variety of walking. The Visitor Centre and Tearoom are excellent and open 7 days a week.

They were running a bit low on ice-creams by the time we left, though!

I love the walled garden, which used to be the kitchen garden for the house, but is now full of flowers. It has a well in the middle...

It is not far to walk to the lake and picnic area in front of the house (which is now a nursing home).

But today the Missus wanted to walk on the heath to get some sun.

It's a good job we brought our water bottles with us. And even after the icecream from the visitor centre, someone still needed extra cooling when they got back home...

"I am the king of the water", he sang.
