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.

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

Down through the woods





Returning to Ashton Under Hill

Refreshement would have been nice!
