Exploring in Floral

Going for walks has got to be one of my favourite things to do. It’s a very basic activity, you don’t need much, but the benefits are always positive. Whenever I’m in a bad mood, not feeling well, or want to get some easy exercise in, I just go for a walk. Luckily for me, I live in quite the scenic area of Yorkshire, so a beautiful stroll is only two steps away.
Converse have become a big go-to shoe to me recently, and I feel like up until now, I was really taking them for granted. I’ve had this classic pair since school, and they’re still in top condition (minus the mud). I love how they add a casual twist to this look paired with a denim jacket. Converse all the way!

One of my favourite things about living in Yorkshire is the
scenery that’s simply footsteps away. It’s one of the main reasons I won’t move
to London, I need these kind of views every day. I live in a tiny village in
the West of Yorkshire, with moors right outside my bedroom windows. However,
between the moors and my house, is this huge valley which everyone just calls “The
Woods”. It’s easily become my happy place, because it’s hidden, untouched and
peaceful. The only sounds you can hear are from the brook that runs through the
valley and hundreds of birds. It’s one of the best places to run away to, and
as it’s so close to home I’m there basically every day.

Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden
During the bank holiday Monday in the UK, we experienced
something incredibly rare: good weather. I certainly wasn’t expecting anything
too amazing, especially for the North – but it was actually sunny all day! I’m still in shock. As the
weather was on our side, my friends and I decided to experience one of
Yorkshire’s most beautiful National Trust parks and visited Fountains Abbey and
Studley Royal Water Garden in Ripon. It’s stunningly beautiful, especially with
the sunlight highlighting the best of the nature.
Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden is a park I’ve never visited before, but was excited to visit somewhere new, even if it meant walking for five hours. It was great to just spend time with friends, just hanging out for free. One of the best features of the park is not just the enormous lake and beautiful gardens, but the herds of deer that freely roam the area. I live in a quiet village so I’ve seen the occasional deer before, but usually just one and from the distance. In Ripon, I saw about thirty at once and there’s really nothing more exciting than seeing such remarkable animals in their natural habitat.

I don’t consider myself a big nature outdoor-sy person, I’m
the first to run from the sight of a bee and cry if there’s a spider in my
eyeline – but I really enjoyed the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Gardens.
From watching swans fly across the lake, to purchasing the best ice cream cone
I’ve ever had, to walking through the river and trying not to fall; there’s
something for everyone. People of all ages can walk around, and there’s dogs
everywhere! The highlight of the day was definitely seeing deer close-up, as
well as spending a great day in the sun.
What did you get up to over the bank holiday?
