A walk along the River Amber in the picturesque village of Ashover, Derbyshire, UK, is always a pretty one, but this time it really surpassed itself. Normally the wildflowers come through one after the other, but this time they all seemed to be out together at once.
At the entrance, there was a handmade sign put up by the local schoolchildren asking people to pick up their litter, which was nice to see and a good reminder for everyone using the paths.
The footpath beside the river was full of wild garlic, with its bright green leaves and white flowers lining the edge of the path. It smelt lovely as well.
There are a few stone cottages along the route. The people who live here must have an idyllic life.
I love the old stone steps that don't seem to lead anywhere, apart from an overgrown field.
The tree branches overhead were forming a natural archway over the path.
I spotted a carpet of yellow meadow buttercups in the next field.
At the end of the path was the old clapper bridge, looking as lovely as ever. It's known as Abraham's Bridge, but not sure why.
After reaching the bridge, I turned round and walked back the way I had come before taking another path uphill to get a closer look at the fields.
At this point, I followed the path uphill.
From there I could see jackdaws walking amongst the buttercups and the bluebells.
There were a few dog walkers out. I can't think of a prettier dog walk than this. I then turned around and returned back downhill.
Whoever lives here must have some great views.
It really was one of those walks where everything seemed to come together perfectly. With all the flowers out at once, the fields were full of colour, and the river flowing quietly beside the path. I found Ashover looking its very best.
