I know what you're thinking.. Another post about lock down, really?! Yes. Yes it is. It is still a massive part of our society at the moment, and I am grateful for it in many ways. One of those reasons, is that I have discovered so many more local walks, and spaces that I hadn't ventured out to before. So many more places to explore right on our doorstep. Being a tourist in your area is never a bad thing, and I am so glad that I have come across all of these new places to visit.
I have discovered 2 new woods, places that I absolutely love to wonder through. I'm not sure what it is, but I find walking through the woods so peaceful and calming. I can't help but feel refreshed after trudging through the trees and hearing the birds singing and to have found 2 of them so close to where I am, has brought me much happiness. Not only that, but it was so sweet to hear kids singing 'Into The Unknown' from Frozen 2 through the woods, at each other. I will without a doubt, be visiting both of these woods throughout all seasons of the year - I cannot wait to see the leaves on the trees turning all shades of orange and red, and falling to the floor. One of my favourite places in the UK is Westonbirt Arboretum, and having these woodlands so close has definitely filled the void of not being able to travel up to the arboretum to go for a wander.
I am loving having some time to explore the places that are close by, and I will definitely continue to do so in the future. Now that some of the restrictions of the lockdown have been eased, going for a walk, or finding an outside space to sit with some friends and family would be such a lovely weekend activity. These places would be great for doing so. I am grateful to have such beautiful places to explore on our doorstep.
What have you discovered during lockdown?
