Nesscliffe Country Park & Kynastons Cave

After dropping Kellyn off at school on Friday, I headed off to Nesscliffe Country Park for a Treat. I parked up and let two very excited dogs out of the car. The park has many foot paths all heading in different directions.
We took the path heading towards Kynastons Cave. It was very muddy due to amount of rainfall we have had recently but this added to the fun especially for the dog who were running round going crazy chasing each other and diving in and out of the puddles.

It only took us 10 minutes to reach the cave which is lodged in the giant Red sandstone cliffs. The cave is now home to bats but once it was the home of a highway man Humphrey Kynaston Shropshire's answer to Robin Hood. From here was easy to see why he would have chosen this spot as you can see for miles.




After having a good look round this area, The two dogs and myself headed to Olivers point high up on top of the Cliff, it was well worth the climb as the views were breathtaking, We were able to look right over the welsh hills and enjoy a great view of the Briddens. As we reached the point there was even a lovely rainbow in view. I sat here for a while before taking a walk right the way around the park stopping at various information board to read what they said and take in the views. It was soon time to head off and collect Kellyn from School . With both Dogs very Muddy i was very glad of having a Kangoo and the inside being plastic. What a wonderful place to go for a walk and clear your head.
