The Farndale Daffodil Walk

What a fantastic display of daffodils, Yorkshire, and lovely to have a glimpse of Yorkshire too! That pheasant gets around - he was in our garden yesterday, lol. Many thanks for the walk.

Wow! never seen so many daffodils. The pictures are brilliant thank you for that walk.

Great blog Yorkshire, fantastic photos of the daffodils, but my favourites are the pictures of the river. So glad you enjoyed your day. You couldnt fail to really with such lovely countryside. Bet your tired today, but at least you can sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Wonderful display of daffs, what a treat, Yorks. Thank you. Phew it was hot down here too.

Thats lovely val... so glad you had a lovely day out... wish i could have walked it with you... and didnt you do well with the walking.....lovely daffs and love the pic with the pansies....

I am glad the 5 of you have enjoyed this, we had a wonderful day, unfortunatley the photos do not do the Daffs justice, wish you could have walked with us to Holly, you would have loved it, yes I did well walking and I am doing well today also,

thats good...i think the nice weather helps you to do more, as you want to get out there and do things... : O ))

no problem taking your pheasant for a walk, OH kept trying to catch it for the pot, no H/B not X rated, I kept putting the same photos on and didn't know how to delete them,

What a wonderful walk so many Daffs, I wonder who planted all those, so nice to follow the stream too, Im sure you were very pleased that you completed the walk even though its tiring the views are certainly worth it!

the daffs are planted both sides of the beck Pp, apparently the daffs were planted many years ago by the Medieval Monks of Rievaulx Abbey, my husband remembers them from 150 years ago, Lol only joking, he said he can remember going there over 40 years ago,

lovely blog and pics yorkshire, i just love walking in these places, peace and quiet for miles :o))

Beautiful,Don't think i have ever seen that many all together thanks for sharing

lovely photos Yorkshire :):)

Lovely blog Yorkshire,lovely looking countryside woody wet and wild which I love.I would say your rainbow wellies came in handy.By any chance did your husband meet my uncle Fr.Pat who lived at the abbey and planted all the bulbs many years ago. Lol

What a quaint little village and such gorgeous baskets of pansies. Lovely scenes you have up there, which I ve seen some my self. All those daffodils and by the stream too, wonder if this is where Wordsworth once walked to wright my favourite poem Golden Daffodills fits his words beside the lake beneath the tree fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Lovely blog and pics,Val.Glad you both had a lovely day,and so pleased you are walking much better..that must make you feel good.We keep meaning to visit Helmsley,but haven 't made it yet..but we will.:o)The daffodils are fantastic,thanks for sharing..:o)

what a lovely idea ~ a daffodil walk and aren't they wonderful, love the pictures by the stream.

i think 'lambing live' must be coming from somewhere near you ~ the moors and hills look similar.

Beautiful scenery ! And you had a nice day for it.

I am so pleased you all enjoyed my blog/photos, thank you, John we did meet a Friar and my husband said what a nice man, I wonder if he is related to your friend John, !!!Sticki, farming live is further North to where we went, and 6d could well have been where Wordsworh wrote the poem,Bloomer only about another two weeks and the daffs will be finished, but Helmsley is worth a visit, thanks San, BJS and Hywel,

i thought the wordsworth poem was written around tintern abbey??

Pass on this one, maybe we need to check it out on the internet, just had a quick look on google but didn't find much at all,

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,

They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).

'Wordsworth's most famous poem about daffodils was composed in 1804, two years after he saw the flowers while walking by Ullswater on a stormy day with Dorothy, his sister. His inspiration for the poem came from an account written by Dorothy.'
