After our
tour of London on Sunday, we caught a bus to Manchester - a 5 hour drive. The bus ended up running nearly an hour late, but thankfully we still caught the taxi which took us to the Schoenstatt Centre in Kearsley.
The Schoenstatt Shrine, Manchester
The shrine is situated
on Manchester Road, halfway between Kearsley and Bolton. You can literally step from a busy highway straight into a quiet "beautiful place" with 270-degree views of the surrounding countryside. The shrine motto, displayed prominently on the foundation stone, is "Your Shrine - Our Home"
We spent all of Monday at Schoenstatt, taking a break after the constant travel of the previous days. We're currently staying in a cottage about 50 metres from the Shrine. Waking up early in the morning you can step outside and see the squirrels scrambling up and down the trees.

Glad to hear/see you're relaxing a little. You're not far from where I used to live for a while - a village called Freckleton. I also used to drive my buses to Bolton.
Have you seen any other wildlife? There may be moles, pheasants, badgers and foxes about the place. If you get to the canals you'll see a few water fowls.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the message.
We haven't seen any other wildlife really. We might have a look around today - there's a walk through a farm nearby.
God Bless,
David & The Webbs on Tour
