Yesterday was a lovely sunny day so we went to Culzean Castle – a National Trust castle and country estate half an hour down the coast from us. It’s a lovely place for dog walks. Not only a castle built right on the cliffs overlooking the sea, but formal gardens, woodlands, a deer farm, a huge swan pond, cliff top walks and lovely beaches and sandy coves.

As always the first thing Biggles did when we arrived on the beach was get his nose down and make a beeline for the nearest horse tracks:

There are horses in the field behind us and we often meet the farmer riding during morning walks or chat with her while she’s grooming the horses. In fact we occasionally walk beside her on horseback. Beanie and Biggles are completely laid back about this. Yet the moment we come across horse tracks on a beach – ANY beach, Biggles goes ballistic and Beanie normally joins in.

We spent about 3 hours walking around the estate. We didn’t do anything particularly energetic but I guess all the different sights, sounds and smells were very stimulating as the Beaglets were knackered when we got home:
