Lunch & Walk at Ilam Park
Another month, another holiday! Stopping at Ilam Park NT on the way to our accommodation for a picnic and a wander.
We ate our lunch on the Manifold Tea Room picnic benches that offered good views down to the Italian garden, the house & over to a couple of hills.
The orange trail takes you through the top garden and down to the River Dove. It looped round through peaceful paths & fields by the lambs, back to Ilam.
Check out the National Trust website and Visit Peak District website for more info.
