Far from the end of our spell of fine weather Easter Sunday turned out to be another sunny warm day after a rather unpromising start. We decided on a walk around Walton Colliery Nature Park located just a few miles from us rather than risking any Easter traffic jams. It was our first visit to the nature park and we were surprised by the area it covered and enjoyed a pleasant afternoon stroll around part of the site. We'll certainly be making more visits to explore other paths and see how the park changes over the seasons.

| Walton Colliery Nature Park |
The park is situated on the site of the old Walton Colliery closed down in 1979. More details about the colliery are available here. The grassed area above looks more like grass at the end of a dry August rather than the end of April and is certainly showing the effects of no rain for almost 2 months.
