I then joined Graham and Margaret at Cressbook Mill for a couple of days. Water cum Jolly Dale is a short walk from the converted Mill and was simply lovely as was Miller's Dale to which it links. Spring finally seemed to have arrived.

Our final walk was through Cressbrook Dale. Initially we we walking through a wood of moss covered trees and walls, carpeted with wild garlic and wood anemones.
Once through the woods the dale is bare and impressive.

There was a stack of metal tables in a side chapel, which also had a display of local curios including some goggles for chickens.
