Fell Foot Park and Garden

Yesterday we made one of our regular visits to a favourite place of ours - Fell Foot Park and Gardens on the edge of the lovely Lake Windermere. We are lucky enough to live close enough to make this a regular place to visit, especially when our grandchildren are visiting. ~WHAT IS IT~ Fell Foot Park and Garden is owned by the National Trust.
