Exploring Temple Newsam Park | A Calming Friday Walk Among the Trees
Join me for a reflective Friday afternoon walk through the beautiful Temple Newsam Park near Leeds. I have for some time been putting commentary on my videos, which has sparked some discussion from commenters about my outlook. I have been called negative among other things, they seem to be missing the point. The truth is, when I start these walks, I might not always feel my best, but the process of being out in nature, breathing fresh air, and moving my body is an incredibly positive thing for both mental and physical well being.
In today’s walk, I return to my original style - just me, you, and the woods, I'll keep my opinions to myself. I had intended to visit the national collection of Chrysanthemums which is on display in the glasshouses at the park. Unfortunatley the doors were locked when I got there. Instead I head off for a walk in the woods. Time to shake off the rather strange week that I have had.
I wander off the beaten path into a small ravine I’ve always wanted to explore, and though I don’t quite make it to the bridge I was aiming for, the journey itself was a rewarding workout. The day ends on a surreal note as I stumble upon a Christmas lights display before its opening time - a peculiar conclusion to a quite peculiar week.
Let’s enjoy the simple beauty of nature together.

    My 6:30 work journey from Holmewood area to Pudsey was interesting. No gritting from Leeds or Bradford councils and very slippery in places. Overshot 2 red lights at about 5mph! Doubt if I'll get a ticket for either though, given the number of people around here that ignore them.

    Looking at that weather now I can't believe that 40 years ago I would just carry on motorcycling as usual. The only nod to the weather would be one of those trawler fishermans style thick woolly jumper under the leather jacket. Longer journeys would involve stopping occasionally to warm the gloves up on the engine.

    The catholic church destroyed many churches in a frenzy of godlessness since the second Vatican council of 1962_65 and replaced them with ugly ,unspiritual mockeries ..those responsible are still in the higher hierarchy but happily facing their reward and judgement.

    Just been watching some of your vids, and as this walk is local to me I was particularly interested. Now my memory may be playing tricks, but I believe there's something special about the bridge you cross over at about minute 27. I can't remember the details but its something along the lines (no pun intended) of being the oldest single span steel built railway bridge in the world? (Railway being horse-drawn rather than mechanical). Apologies if I'm getting confused here, but I'm sure I read something like that some years ago. Also, as you cross the bridge and drop into the field, there's a structure on the right I've always been curious about. Maybe it's a remnant of the Barnbow works, I'm not sure. Anyway, thanks for posting the video, very interesting even though I walk here frequently.

    • @garewalks
      @garewalks 17 днів тому

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I didn't know that bridge was so historic. It's clad in that sheet metal but under it looking at photos it's quite a grand bridge. It's a listed structure and on Historic England website is this - "as a cast iron overbridge built between 1830 and 1834 on the pioneering, first phase Leeds & Selby Railway, believed to be the earliest cast iron bridge in the world still in-situ over an operational railway, and used as the main access bridge to Barnbow Munitions Factory during the First World War." All the workers at the munitions factory, mostly women were shipped in by train everyday, I think the buildings in this area might be to do with the station.

  • @billybremner5967

    Many thanks for a great video. Do you know if the city boundaries would have been marked in any way? As far as I know Leeds didn't have walls like York for example. So what was there to stop people and cattle avoiding the gates and just wandering into the town? Really enjoyed the video, I'll do the same walk soon.

    • @garewalks
      @garewalks 17 днів тому

      Thanks, I didn't find anything to suggest any kind of defences. I guess field and garden fences and buildings formed the boundaries although I'm not sure. It did say eventually the gates gave way to just the bar stones so I guess then anyone could come and go. 👍

      In my experience those with the least are the most generous and they are the ones doing their best to be ‘green’ - recycle, and reuse (trying ever so hard to leave a better world for the following generations). However sometimes for those with the least recycling and reuse is though necessity.

    I used to drive on this road to work every day for 10 years rather than go through the City centre. The direction you were driving when I finished work, the other way in the morning as it was less congested. It's about 18 miles long if you do all of it, which I had to because of where I live. Doesn't look much more congested really, although I realise you weren't driving at peak times.

      That's great thanks I couldn't remember which way round the pubs were. Brilliant about Rag Dolly Annie, didn't know about it, just watched a couple of episodes on UA-cam 😂👍

    I look forward to your rain falling in to a pool video. Years ago I liked take photos of rain splashing in puddles. I got lots of lovely crown type splashes that looked great when cropped.

    Is there a scenic (and/or steam) railway you could film? Say in the station and then maybe when the train is running on the tracks? I’m not asking you to travel on the train. Just some nice filming of a steam train similar to the shots of modern trains in this video.

    How many statues of women do you have of women in Yorkshire (compared to statues of men and/or mythological figures)?

    • @garewalks
      @garewalks 28 днів тому

      Not enough I don't think, I'll look out for them when I'm on my travels. They are trying to do more blue plaques now of women.

    Is the River Foss in anyway connecting to The Fosse Way?

    • @doreenkelly2087
      @doreenkelly2087 28 днів тому

      Looking at The Fosse Way Wikipedia - this looks like a silly question. The Fosse Way looks quite far south

    • @garewalks
      @garewalks 28 днів тому

      No I didn't know about the Fosse Way I've looked it up, interesting. 👍 there is a footpath the full length of the River Foss, a kind of Foss Way.

    Also there are new low rise flat near Glasgow near what looks like a scenic riverbank-I once swapped bus there and the smell was not pleasant.

    At 17:18 - Bridge TJC3/250 at Hunslet is still considered to be on the same railway line from London to Colne , Lancashire. My local bridge is TJC3 / 117 in Colne is considered to still be on the Masborough to Colne line despite the railway line from Skipton to Colne having been removed in 1970. All milages start from London - so Masborough was 161 miles , YOUR location at Hunslet was 193 miles , and my bridge in Colne was at 232 miles. British Rail actually still exists in the form of owning old railway infrastucture , and they still have to maintain these old road bridges and farmers thoroughfares to this day. That's why that number is coded on that bridge. You can google the bridge number and it will tell you the same info on "TJC3 milages". - Mike.

      That's fascinating, thank you, in future I will pay more attention to the old painted signs on railway bridges and check them out on Google ĺater. 👍

    Why is it called "Middleton" Railway when it's in Hunslet ?

    • @garewalks
      @garewalks Місяць тому

      I think because the colliery was at Middleton a few miles away and the railway brought the coal into the city. I will probably know more when I get the Middleton park walk completed. 😀👍
