Trees still sprinkled with gold

The trees are still sprinkled with gold here and there.  Some of the leaves in the woodland near Coniston remain green.  It’s not winter just yet, in spite of shorter days and fading light, and heavy rains produce spectacular waterfalls.  If clouds cover the mountain tops there are always some good low level walks.  A footpath leads from Coniston through these lovely woods, passing the back of Yew Tree Farm (call in for coffee), past Yew Tree Tarn, and onwards, towards Skelwith Bridge.
