The Higgings Clough swing bridge. There's so many great names for bridges along here, I'm going to do a blog of their own. A bit geeky perhaps, but I was entertained by them.
Breaking ice on the way to Marple.
Same boats moored at Marple as when we came past over a week before
Yep, here too
and here
Signage says it all
Deer soaking up the sun
There were lots Follys dotted around the hillside, which we hadn't noticed on our trip up - probably because it was very misty & overcast
Is it a folly? Big white blob as far as I can tell
That's more like it.

...looking at this view....
Aqueduct doesn't look much from above, but go down below and it is quite spectacular looking from this angle.

Folly #1 is Lyme Cage - A sort of grandstand to let elegant ladies watch the menfolk hunt deer in Lyme Park.
Folly #2 is White Nancy built in 1817 by John Gaskell junior of North End Farm to commemorate the victory at the Battle of Waterloo. - Wikipedia has loads about it
That big white blob is Mow Cop, Jill says if you climb the hill it will come into focus and it will no more be a big white blob! LOL.
Thanks Ray. Now I've got the names I've been reading about them. I had heard of White Nancy, but didn't realise that's what I was looking at. Very interesting. Thanks. SUE
Hi Graham. The white blob is White Nancy. I've got a picture of Mow Cop on the post "onto the macclesfield canal". Thanks anyway. SUE
