Today we set off on foot to the Dunham Massey Estate, which we last visited in 2005, and the hall was then covered in Scaffolding and plastic sheeting whilst they were carrying out major repairs. We were looking forward to seeing the hall in all it’s glory. To get to the estate from the canal you have to first cross under the canal via this under bridge.
We do not remember this cottage being a tea room, but it is now.

As we walked past this pond the fountain was working.
When we walked back it was turned off!
We finished our day at Dunham Massey with a 2-scoop choc & mint ice cream cone each, yummy.
