Sleights holiday 2
Danby Lodge National Park Centre is situated on the bank of the River Esk. It was once a hunting lodge and has now been imaginatively repurposed as a visitor centre, with a lovely café, shop, displays about the area and lots of trails and activities for children. It also houses the 'Inspired by...' gallery, which currently has a wonderful photography exhibition, 'Woodland Sanctuary', by Joe Cornish and Simon Baxter, which was, of course, what I mainly intended to see.
I was happily surprised by the centre, and enjoyed wandering around some of the trails, as well as the inside exhibitions.
I don't manage to take many butterfly photos and this was a rather ragged specimen but it stayed still long enough to get a reasonable shot. I don't think it is anything more exciting than a Meadow Brown - fairly common, apparently.
Only a Meadow Brown but a lovely shot nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteNice shot with the butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThat last is my favourite
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice when buildings can be repurposed and this one seems to have been redone quite well.
