Out with kid & dog again a few weeks ago & thought we could check out a few sights while we were out & about!
1st off had a quick look at Morcott tunnel. Just a few miles from my childhood home this was one I had neglected. Its a 445yd tunnel with absolutely nothing inside!
That said there is a lot of water ingress, which has led to cave like walls covered in limescale! this gave an impressive luminescent glow to the whole thing!

Next we had a stroll around North Luffenham windmill. has been covered before & not a lot left, but still a nice structure!

Finally we headed over to Blatherwick hall, haven't seen this on here before & cant find much of the history.
The "hall" looks more like a stable block to something larger to me. It stands next to the Holy Trinity church & appears to be under restoration!
It looked pretty empty & there was no access in, but heres a few rather poor externals I got which may interest some of u anyway!
