Ripley Castle, lake and Church

Making the most of the glorious weather, once again we headed out to meet three friends for socially distanced coffee and cake from Sophie's in Hampsthwaite. It was lovely sat on the village green in the sunshine.
On the way back, we passed by the Ripley estate. The Castle and gardens are currently closed to the public, but were looking grand in the May sunshine. It's not a photo that would win any prizes, but I'm sure you will get the idea.
