A Midsummer night, one or two people quietly walking their dogs and a beautiful view looking out to the Isle of Man. Heaven on earth

I really enjoyed my walk in these woods, the views were beautiful and it was very peaceful. The shade under the trees was amazing in this heat as well.

Lovely place to walk with the family! 😍 had to be careful when walking on the grass though because of dog mess.
