Bursts of blackthorn blossom bedeck our hedgerows

Glorious sunshine has highlighted stunning arrays of blackthorn blossom in local hedgerows, coinciding with the National Trust's first "blossom watch" day on April 24th when people were urged to celebrate the sights and scents of the blossom season. The blackthorn pictured above is part of the dazzling display lining the footpath from Skipton Road towards Tar Topping.
