Towards Christchurch Aughton
In this part of the U.K., the nearer you get to the coast, the flatter the land becomes. This area of West Lancashire is known for its ideal farming conditions. There are hundreds of market gardens all specialising in various vegetables and fruits. Today we visited Pumpkin Valley near Ormskirk. Standing in the Pumpkin Patch, you can see for miles. Behind me is Formby on the west coast, maybe 7 or so miles. In front of us here we can see the tiny village of Aughton with its church, Christchurch sitting sleepily on the rise of the land some 3 miles away. The clouds by the way were as angry as you see them, laden with squally showers. Yes, we got drenched as we found out. Standing in the middle of a pumpkin patch, there is nowhere to shelter from. But the Autumn colours are well in evident here. Thank you for looking..
