Abbots Leigh Pool

Today the sun was shining, so this afternoon we decided to take the kids out. Huw had heard of Abbots Leigh pool and fancied having a look. So after lunch we got in the car (after some grumbling from the kids) and set off for Abbots Leigh, we weren't 100% sure of where we were going but had a rough idea. Anyway we managed to find the right road (Manor Road) and found a signpost and squeezed into the car park. Well it just looks like a wooded area, but as soon as we got to the pool it was lovely with trails around, up steep banks. There were quite a few people around, dogs walking and swimming in the pool. Mountain bikers riding around the trails. We also did some geo-caching while we were walking - to give the kids something to do. Ioan and Carys found a rope swing and had great fun swinging on the rope. Carys managed to graze her knee as she skidded along the ground and Ioan hurt his arms. They want to go back again next week so it was worth dragging them out of the house.
