Hi all šš»š
Join me today as we walk around a #misty and #mysterious BURGHLEY HOUSE on a late December day. I will show you my FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHS of that day š yesā¦ the #LION #bridge will be part of this selection too as you can see already.
Some photos have a very āsoft and warmā feelingā¦ even though it was a cold and moody day. Read further and you see what I mean.
It was the first time I visited the UK š¬š§ it is such a lovely estate, back then I already fell in love with it and would visit many times. When I visit the UK.
The park / grounds around it are massive. If you rememberā¦ I posted last month a more recent walk there, if you missed that post see : Walk around ā16th century BURGHLEY HOUSE and its LION BRIDGEā STAMFORD UK š¬š§
With this post Iām joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge. That is hosted by @tattoodjay every week on Wednesday.
ā¼ļøHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!ā¦ the community is run by @tattoodjay.

It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts š come join us! It is fun!
Todayās selection will be of 13 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 28 December 2016.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my old phone š±š¤
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to šš»šš»šš» #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Location of #burghleyhouse we find on the following screenshot on google maps:
More information about the estate is here: Burghley!
Are you joining me today to discover my favourite photos?
Yes, great š letās have a walk together.
As we walk up from the parking lot we see BURGHLEY HOUSE is almost fully surrounded by the mist. It gives us a beautiful soft outline from its many towers and chimneys. We canāt get closer by, as there is a large iron gate that holds us backā¦ I am capturing this photo through it. In the post shared above, I have captured the gate. If you are curious to see it.
Letās look a bit closer by. I am zooming in.
We walk further over the path and start our walk around the grounds toward the Lion bridgeā¦
The large ancient trees are bare, (cary no leaves) their #silhouette just pops out of the mist.
Some are covered with #mistletoe (the round balls you see, it is a parasitic plant)
Their presence on this tree makes this photo eerieā¦ in a way. Or is it more mysterious?
I like the #textureā¦. the #details of their bark. The twisted lines running all the way up š they are oldā¦ oh the stories they can tell.
We reached the Lion bridge now. See the first photo / thumbnail.
As I stand in the middle, looking over the edge of the bridge. I show you the river. Our views.
The mist really engulfs usā¦ we canāt see far out. It makes for a mysterious feeling.
The warmth of the colours changes the mood instantly. š„°
Looking on the other sideā¦ so softā¦ I love the brown colours.
Look at that beautiful tree on the right side of the rivers edge š
I take you even closer to the tree. Yes, this is my favourite photo of the day š the warmth speaks to me. The softnessā¦ the mist is just perfect and the light. The tree creates also a beautiful #reflection.
We start walking again and wander slowly back to Burghley house. It seems the mist is getting thickerā¦ and thickerā¦ soon we wonāt be able to see much anymore. We walk further.
Hhmmmm the little tree is in the wayā¦.
ā¦ shall we walk a bit further.
Yes, this is better. The little tree doesnāt distract us now.
We can take a good look at the estate. It is just visible now.
On the far end of the estate, there is an entranceā¦. Sometimes you can walk in. This timeā¦ as it is Christmas holidays š you can see some Christmas displays in a little part of the house. You do have to buy tickets forā¦
As we walk through a gate we see the courtyard.
One of the towersā¦. And the gate around the estate.
The inside I will keep for another post š I hope you enjoyed seeing my favourite captures of this 16th century estate and its #lionbridge. It is a fascinating place to visitā¦ especially on moody or misty days.
Hope to visit it soon again, one dayā¦
ā¦and here I say thatās all for todayās post my friends.
