A Peaceful Day at Nostell
Nostell, in West Yorkshire, is home to a beautiful Palladian house surrounded by more than 300 acres of parkland. The house dates from the eighteenth century and stands on the site of a much older medieval priory.
On our visit, we began by wandering through the parkland towards the lake. The water reflected the surrounding trees, and there were plenty of birds making their home along the shoreline. A family of swans caught our attention, and we spent some time watching them while we ate our lunch. Nearby, moorhens were also moving quietly across the water.
Afterwards, we continued exploring the grounds, making our way through the parkland towards the Obelisk Lodge. It's easy to walk past a lake without stopping, but sometimes the best photographs come from simply sitting for a while and seeing what happens.
