27th July Coombs Valley Nature reserve

We had just had a drive out to the Roaches, but as it was mid - day we couldn't find anywhere to park. We stopped at Tittesworth Resevoir for lunch at the visitor centre on the way back.

Coombs Valley nature reserve is of the A52 between Leek and Ashborne. It is a RSPB site with three waymarked walks through old and new woods and meadows. We had a lovely walk on a hot Saturday afternoon. Anne is still recovering from her broken ankle so she used walking poles. This proved to be a good decision as there were quite a few ups and downs on the walk.
