Walker review

My favourite so far. The lake was gorgeous and saw a swan on her nest. The nature reserve was a lovely place to spot birds. We actually walked to East beach after this would be good to add as part of the route. That was a lovely walk too and we stopped in the cafe there. Throughly enjoyed it.
