Exploring The Great Fort, Gaer Fawr

 

 

A walk in the woods last Sunday morning. Just what was needed after another long week. The sun made a rare appearance, birds singing heartily and bluebells starting to emerge through the carpet of leaf litter. 

 Gaer Fawr, the Great Fort is an old ironage fort of impressive size and the boys loved running up and down the embankments shooting their bows and arrows. 

The highlight for them was to discover a Fairy door with a cup cake left outside. This was rather tempting for littlest one who wanted to devour it there and then! It took some persuading for him to walk away leaving it for the tiny occupants. 

The mosses and lichens on the trees kept catching my eye with their pattern and colour.
