In 1948 “The Friends of Wycoller” were established in an effort to preserve Wycoller village and the hall. Lancashire County council bought the land from the Water Board in 1973 and the beautiful village and surrounding countryside were designated a country park.

hi,
The sight of your own slides through tiers and tears of the always old and getting there; the wholeness of a Beauty that is never lost. The feeling I receive is warm, even with the starkness imposed upon initial view. a value of coming night slipping from the overhead globe of sun and waiting starlight, there is this natural sense of safety bordering on our consciousness, even when we are unconscious (as we mostly are!). thank you for the goodness let forth here and I shall look with a sincere anticipation of what may come, what may be, what is being missed. It is a returning look at a time now long passed on by, a many textured layer of feelings upon feelings—with no burdening edgy anxiety over what is gone and our mind must continue, as does the old old pendulum clock, knowing nothing more than the tick and tock of its rooted responsibility. Nevertheless as the days grow short on my personal list, this is saying “relax, lay aside what is not ready to be revealed in you. let the humbling, defining, inspiring spring within begin again.”
mariarty replied
Wow!!! thank you for the beautiful, philosophical commentary. Much appreciated.
