Monday 25th May 2020 Farmcote
A walk with James and Charlie dog. Forecast to be a hot day so we started early. Out from Winchcombe past the castle initially on the Warden's Way behind Sudeley Lodge and Parks Farm to Deadmanbury Gate. Down Campden Lane to Lynes Barn. Then returning on the Gloucestershire Way on the edge of Farmcote valley through Stancombe Wood to Winchcombe. 9 miles and 1100 feet ascent.
Towards Parks Farm
Winchcombe, Langley Hill and the Malvern Hills in the distance
Zoomed in on Charlton Abbots and the little church in the centre - where I was on Friday
Disused tractor
The geese were not unfriendly
Cotswold cottages
They came to say Hello
The May blossom is now fading
Little Farmcote
Buttercup meadow

More buttercups, Winchcombe and Langley Hill
Charlie gets to cool down in the river.

Monday 18th May 2020 Bredon Hill
A fantastic morning for a figure of eight walk over Bredon Hill starting at Ashton Under Hill. Warm with a cooling breeze. Up from the church to follow the ridge to the seat then south in the direction of Warrren Wood. Up to the top an Parson's Folly. Back to the seat and then down along the edge of Ashton Wood and back to the start.
8.5 miles with 1200 feet ascent
What a lovely cottage
Entrance to the Church
Just up the hill from the church and looking back to Dumbleton Hill
Sheep sheltering from the sun
Buttercups and the May blossom
Looking back again to Dumbleton Hill
Private path!
Across to the Malvern Hills
Parson's Folly originally built as a summer house for John Parson who lived below in Kemerton Court
Looking down on Little Comberton
Down through the woods
Returning to Ashton Under Hill
Refreshement would have been nice!
