Penny Rock Wood beech

Penny Rock Wood is found on the northern bank of the River Rothay between the lakes of Grasmere and Rydal Water.

This photo was taken at the end of a dawn outing at Penny Rock beach on Grasmere. While walking back through Penny Rock Woods I saw this proud, tall beech tree. Autumn had well and truly taken hold but very still days had meant few leaves had fallen.
