Just a short walk today as we had plumbers visiting this morning! We drove to Ingleby to the John Thompson Inn for lunch and then left the car in the carpark -with permission from the landlord and went for a short walk. We walked along the lane through Ingleby, past lots of lovely houses and cottages and then used the footpath to cross a field, going past sheep, donkeys and llamas. We then followed the path above the river Trent and through lots of coconut scented gorse. The views across the river were wonderful. We stood and watched a heron soaring around for a while and then climbed a very narrow path up over the cliffs and then back down to the river side. The cliffs were triassic conglomerate (sandstone with layers of large pebbles trapped in them). We walked to the caves which were very impressive -apparently a hermit lived in them, they were very large with big columns inside.
We retraced our steps to the pub. It was only about 4km but a pleasant and interesting walk.
