Few Days at Alvecote



Monday 18th, Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th June

Path through Nature Reserve
Info Board
We have stayed put the last few days as Kev wanted to repaint the boat and where we are moored it is a good spot for doing this as there are no houses and no other boats moored here, also the weather has been really good just right for painting.

Brightly Coloured Wheel
Pooley Country Park
Samuel Barlow Pub
We have been out for a few walks.  There is a Nature Reserve just past the marina, Pooley Pools, and a path from the towpath leads into it, so we had a walk around there and it led to Pooley Country Park which has its own moorings for visitors.  There was a tea room and visitor centre but was closed as they only open at weekends and school holidays, but it was a nice walk and there is a brightly coloured wheel there which came from one of the collieries.

Tuesday we had lunch at the Samuel Barlow pub which is by the marina not far from where we are moored.  The food was really good, I has Sirloin steak and Kev had a burger and they were both delicious, quality meat.  They have a nice selection of gins and I tried Keeper’s Strawberry and Lavender, it was so nice.

It is a nice peaceful spot we are moored in, just a few people walking by so okay for a few days.  We will be moving on Thursday.
