Alfred's Tower and the Woods by Stourhead

We returned to the Stourhead Estate for a walk in the woods near King Alfred's Tower.  The weather was great and it was pleasantly cool in the shady woods.  Being quite a hilly area it was more challenging with Oscar than I expected but well worth it as is such a beautiful place.

We only walked a very small fraction of the woods and found that the nearby Bull Inn was fantastic and worth revisiting so expect a return visit or two for more walks as time goes by!

We came across some fine horses and stopped to say hello 
Nicky got the dogs to a nice bit of grassy shade at the end of the walk while Oscar found a picture of an owl.
Oscar couldn't work out the walking poles, good job he gets carried around!
