Coniston Part 2

On Day 2, we opted for long and flat(ter). We walked the length of the lake and around the hills and farms near the sound end of the lake before making our way back. Another beautiful day in the Lake District.... A perfect day for a lake cruise (which we didn't do):

At various points we could see down and back up the lake. We could see where we'd hiked yesterday:

...and were happy we'd done it, and were happy we were doing something else today.

We found happy, peaceful goats:

and sheep of course:

Lovely valleys and farms:

Gorgeous photos! Sheep! Several candidates for a "best of Swatchy" collection.

Isn't the Lake District beautiful.
We used to go there for holidays when I was a nipper:)
