My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

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.

Sunday 12th January 2020 Bibury

A solo walk from the tourist hotspot of Bibury. I arrived just as the sun was rising and there was no one else around.

With so much rain recently I wasn't surprised to see the River Coln was so high.

The famous Arlington Row. Originally built in the late 14th century as a wool store. Converted to weavers houses in the 17th century.

A closer view

So many footpaths - which way today.


Early morning sun bursting through the trees near the cricket ground

Down to the flooded River Coln,

Flood water everywhere, the ground is saturated and which is the river?


The anglers bridge

"A laugh, a chat, a chair to sit on". Interesting seat in the middle of Coln St Aldwyns.


Weir and mill near Quenington

Looks like a lake but it is a flooded field. There is a footpath going through the midlle!

Muddy track on the way back




My planned  route was through that - good job there was an alternative!

On returning to Bibury there were many tourists and all the parking spaces were taken.
