A couple of walks in Escot Park Devon

Took a few days out this week to go down to South Devon.  Didn't get to do much in the way of proper walking, but was kept on two pins quite a lot over the five days!  One place we did visit that was worth a look round was Escot Park near Honiton, a conference centre and adventure games park. Only did two lots of a mile there but an interesting place with photo opportunities.  Her are just a few.

Red Squirrel Sanctuary 

A small enclosure on the estates that has a little colony of red squirrels.  This big iron beast guards one of the entrance gates.  Below is one of the residents, very tame creatures it has to be said.  Possibly semi domesticated now.

A bullrush

Nothing more to be said really.  Except to say the old school playground joke. 'Why did the bullrush? 'Cos he saw the cowslip!'  It was funny when I was nine.

A bridge!

Guardian of the restaurant

Another big old iron monster.  This was at the entrance to the reception and cafe.

Thatched cottage

A few of these around the area.  Pity about the pole in the way.
