Port Sunlight and the River Park.

This week I visited Port Sunlight and Pam gave us an escorted tour round the village and a stroll through the River Park with a climb to the summit to admire the view.

We started our walk from Bebington Station and after walking past the Art Gallery we paused at the Leverhulme Memorial.

The main figure at the top of the column represents inspiration whilst the figures at the base represent Industry, Education Charity and Art.

Our next stop was at Christ Church. It was built by Viscount Lever as a memorial to his parents. At the west end is the Lady Lever memorial. The bronze effigies are of Lady Lever and Lord Leverhulme.

We now headed for the River Park with a chance to admire the classic view of the Liverpool Skyline

I was not the only person admiring the view.

Returning to the village we looked at some of the beautiful houses.

We walked through the Dell and the Memorial garden to reach the impressive War Memorial which commemorates the lives of those villagers lost in World Wars I and II.

Our short walk had been full of interest. Time for tea and cake in the cafe before the train journey home.

My aim is to create a photo diary of my walks and my travels. I have two main hobbies, walking and photography and these complement each other. I am a senior citizen, what used to be called an old age pensioner, but I don't feel old. Since retirement I have had more time to pursue my hobbies and the opportunity to travel more. My philosophy now is - Do what you can, while you can. My other interests are fine wines and keeping fit. These may not complement each other but keep me happy.
