#Today I went for a long walk with a small #dog and my friend Susie. We visited #LymePark, a #NationalTrust property near #Stockport, famous for its role as #Pemberley in the #BBC's 1995 adaptation of #PrideAndPrejudice. It was a good afternoon.

An English stately home in the Palladian style seen on the further side of a lake. The winter bare branches of a tree enter the image from the top left corner and hang above the lake. A small area of grass runs down to the nearer shore of the lake in the bottom left corner. A small copse of trees is to the left of the stately home. A sole tree is to the right of the stately home. The trees and the building are reflected in the surface of the lake. The sky is grey.

A bichon-frisé dog stands in the middle ground on a grassy path to the left of the image. The path runs up a hill towards a building seen in the distance. The building, a folly, is a square tower with small turrets at each corner of the roof. The crest of the hill slopes downwards from left to right. On the right of the tower a blue line suggests more hills in the far distance.

A square tower known as The Cage at Lyme Park stands in the centre of the image at a slight angle. The base of the building runs downwards diagonally from left to right. Two of the tower's four turrets can be seen at the front corners of the roof. Each turret is topped with a dome. The ground in front of the tower is grassy. The sky is grey.

The façade of the stately home at Lyme Park near Stockport in front of a circular lawn with a cobbled carriageway around the lawn. A family stand in the foreground on the left. The mother carries a backpack on her back and is wearing a long black hooded coat, black leggings and black ankle boots. She is facing away from the camera. A boy in front of her is facing her with his head down and his right leg slightly raised from the ground. He is wearing a blue and green windcheater, blue jeans and a green woolly hat. A girl to the right of the mother is wearing a pink hooded coat, the hood is trimmed with furry material. The girl is also wearing multicoloured trousers and blue and pink wellington boots. Beyond the circular lawn are six people. One is pushing a child in a pushchair away from the stately home. A group of four stand to the right of the doorway, walking towards the building. A solo person in yellow stands in front of the doorway facing the building.
