The grass is always seen as green on the other side of the river. It is something that man has always lived with and believed in. After a few walks in England, I realise that one has to open our eyes and look in the immediate vicinity to realise that you do not have to cross the river to get a green pasture.
On a not too wet and windy Easter weekend, we decided to have a hike in the Peak district of England bordering Derbyshire and Yorkshire. The choice fell on the Grindleford Walk and around the Padley gorge area. A place of pristine green Oaks and native wild life with barely formed walk ways.
We started the walk from "wood Pole" car park and took to the trails down hill and kept walking through boulders and rough hewn rocks that led one along the sides of the brook and litte streams. As the waters gathered to become a full and freely flowing book, the dry and rough country side evolved into a green belt and through our walk, we were entertained by the singing of the birds and the gurgling waters as it found its own way through the hills. It was to say the least soothing to the ears and pleasing to the eye.
At the end of the walk, we wanted more of a holiday in the UK and have decided to do more UK holidays this year..
