My Country Walks
Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Tuesday 23rd April 2024 - May Hill Bluebell Walk
A walk over the iconic May Hill at bluebell time with bluebells everywhere! From the garden centre near Huntley, over Bright's Hill, through May Hill village and up to the top of May Hill. Then down to the north and back through Newent Woods to Glasshouse following the Wysis Way to Great Adam' Wood. 9 mles with 1200 ft ascent.
Bright's Hill for a spectacular bluebell display
Tuesday 16th April 2024 - Churchill
Five of us today. Starting in Churchill and an area I haven't walked in before. Initially a loop to the north west of Churchill and then intertwing through the Sarden House estate. A bright sunny morning, warm in the sun away from the wind but much cooler in exposed areas in the wind. 7.5 miles with 700ft ascent.
Now that is an attractive hedge.
