Wray Scarecrow Festival

Golf at Forrest Hills

This lovely building is Forrest Hills centre near Lancaster University. Apart from the fantastic design ,  "a building of the soul", reminiscent of Hobbiton , it  has a golf course and fishing lake.
For you fisher men and women, it's less than 30 minutes away from Roeburnscar.

Primeval

The geese have moved down the river from the meadows up stream and would not let me take a photo of them . With the giant sequoia --the ancientist of trees-- that Rod's father planted in the 1950's and the flooded pond the scene just looks like something that hasn't changed in millions of years

New Doors

Our lovely new doors are being made by Nick Andrews- a master woodsman.

  The first three are from elm  which produces a beautiful pattern reminiscent of wave and water flows.

The Traddock

                      The Traddock at Austwick just into Yorkshire has just won the hotel of the year award-

                       well worth a visit  and only a short distance from Wray. The hotel has an excellent 

                      environmentally friendly ethos and promotes sustainable principles in it's use of energy

                      efficiency eg: a wood pellet bio mass heating system, recycling of plastic etc.,fresh water

                      served in glass bottles not plastic , sourcing local food --to name just a few .
