We turned onto the Maccie this morning at Hardings Wood Junction after a smooth passage through the 2926 yd Harecastle Tunnel - Jenny doesn't like tunnels!
Hunters Moon heading into the tunnel
The doors close behind us
About to emerge from the gloom
We found a beautiful mooring from which we walked across open fields and through a herd of cows ( peaceful ones) to Little Moreton Hall, a National Trust property where we stepped back into the late 1500's. This stunning Tudor building built by the Moreton family has a quirky charm with it's crooked walls and wonky floors and a long gallery, which is the length of a cricket wicket , 22 yds. An unexpected little gem.
Little Moreton Hall
The Maccie passing over the Trent and Mersey
The sweet aroma of honeysuckle fills the air
A pretty bridge
