Nice shots Mike - nice framing. This is actually Trentham Gardens then is it? Been a few years since I've been there.

Cheers CT, the entrance is just down the road from Trentham Gardens. Did some Chrimbo shopping at Trentham Gardens though, bit of a retail centre there now, they've got an outdoor German market there at the moment, tried the mulled wine... very nice :)

LOL. hic! They used to have a great statue at Trentham Gardens overlooking the lake - Perseus holding the severed head of Medusa. In my cycling club days we used to take boats out on the lake and have water fights using our bike pumps. :D

Aye, that's still there, although that's in the Italian Gardens which you have to pay to get into.
Trenthams'a great place to get out and about, as there's a bit of shopping, actually, lots of shopping, and plenty of great places to take photos.
Only problem is parking the car! :bang:
