Footpaths

Unlike in the States, all the towns in England are connected by footpaths (sidewalks). These paths are often grass or gravel. There are some footpaths that wind through fields and towns. Our favorite is the footpath that you take until you get to a meadow with two horses. On the way we pass ducks, chickens, and sheep. We always feed the horses apples. The big horse is the mum and the small one is the baby. The mom eats as many of the apples as she can. The little one spits the apple out and tries to eat your coat! After seeing the horses we like to walk to Denton reservoir. It has lots of geese and ducks. It was so beautiful we decided we would come back another time for a picnic. The path takes you all the way to the middle of Denton. Denton is a small town not far from Harlaxton Village. When we go there we head straight to the Denton Church. It has a very pretty golden clock. From there we go to an area with huge trees that has tree limbs that touch the ground. It is fun to sit on the branches. On the way home we pass through a sugar beet field. There is nothing like the English countryside.
