As well as the gorgeous colours and reflections in the ponds and lakes, I love going at this time of the year on mushroom/toadstool spotting expeditions. Sadly, this time round, a lot of the toadstools had been kicked down - something I don't really understand why parents let their children do. Mine certainly won't be trampling toadstools down when he is old enough to walk round and help me look for them. The below two toadstools, which were resplendent when we walked past them on our way to the cafe, were completely squished an hour later when we walked back past them to the car - they were even behind fencing!! I'm glad I took the time to photograph them when they looked so pretty.
I walk around this place with my head swivelling like mad, looking up to see the contrast of the brightly coloured leaves with the blue sky behind them and then down to spot little shrooms nestled in grasses or on tree stumps. Bushes at eye level with their bright berries also vie to catch your eye and, with the rustling of the leaves underfoot it's a hugely sensory experience. Definitely book to visit if you can!!
