Batlow Banter
We enjoyed spending time at Batlow, and the kids loved exploring out the back of the caravan park. There was a little stream at the back, and to cross it there was an old fallen tree. After crossing and recrossing it several times, Bethany got a little confident and managed to slip off. It was an early shower for her! Unluckily she landed on a sharp rock, bruising her bottom badly. Don't laugh it really hurt!!
Famous for its apples – Batlow Apples!
