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 20th March 2022 - Yanworth

 

With the Cleeve ramblers. A figure of eight walk going through Yanworth and by the Chedworth roman villa. A bright warmer spring day. Surprising just how much the ground has dried out. 

About 9 miles with 750 feet of ascent.









Initially past the Hangman's Stone - a Neolithic remnant.

Spring is coming

Going down by Oxpens Farm - Yanworth in the distance on the right


St Michael's church Yanworth

More evidence of spring outside the church

The group

Yanworth

Site of the Chedworth roman villa

Just above the site of the villa is the disused railway line - disappearing here into the tunnel which comes out in Chedworth. Note the bat boxes on the trees.

The tunnel exits just below the farm
