A visit to Kirby Muxloe Castle was decided on for our walk and although the castle interior and car-park weren't open in the week, the grounds are. Through the gate our first sight was some Canada Geese and goslings on the bank close to the main entrance bridge.

But there are nice views of the ruin and the fields beyond. Canon EOS 7d, EF 28 - 105 Lens 1/500 @ 6.3, iso 400, 28mm There were not a lot of people about, just a few walking children and dogs.
