Last Friday we visited Stover Park, Newton Abbot.
Nice dry walk around the lake.
Stover Country Park is on the outskirts of Newton Abbot and sits on 114 acres. The park consists of woodland, heathland, grassland, lake and marshland. A lot of work is in progress to try and reduce the oils and other contaminates that are spoiling the waters of the lake.
Charlie enjoying the freedom of one of the many walks.
View of the lake. Pity it was a dull day.
A pair of Mandarin ducks. The male is the attractive one!
A pretty and unmistakable duck. Introduced from China and now found on park lakes and other wetlands.
The old gatehouse to Stover Park.
From Stover Park, on to Bridford in the Teign Valley.
Charlie loves the 2 acre Nature Park created by Bridford parishioners. A credit to the Village!
The building erected to enable talks and discussions.
Bridford Church
Bridford Inn. Pub of the year for 2015 & 2018.
A traditional 17th century pub. On the edge of the village and approximately 10 miles from Exeter. Well worth a visit.
Day over. Another nice day out with Charlie!
