52 Walks in 2010 - Walk 7 - Marston Vale Millennium Country Park (21st February 2010)

Today we went for a walk at the Marston Vale Millennium Country Park. The park was created with lottery funding as a millennium project on land previously used for clay extraction, brick making and landfill. In the park there is a 'figure of eight' path for walkers and cyclists, including a 4 kilometre (2.5 mile) circular path around Stewartby Lake which was where our walk took us.



It started out quite a cold, bleak, overcast day.



There were lots of catkins out.



Later, the sunshine came out and by the waterside this would have been a nice place to sit if it had been warmer.



When the sun was out the lake looked quite picturesque and there were lots of gulls on the water.



I think this final photo, taken into the sun, is my favourite of the day.
