Walking up through the gorge to the Mile Castle Pub. Skittering bunnies, post-industrial ruins, the steady sound of running water: celandines, bluebells, cow-parsley, speedwell (two sorts), forget-me-nots, campion, buttercups, small pink flower I've forgotten the name of, vetch, shepherd's purse, nettles, daisies, dock, trefoil, ferns, wild garlic, ivy, dandelions, thistle, reeds. Many trees. Many noisy birds. Maybe the flicker of a red squirrel. There should be more places like this.
