Tuesday 30th May 2023 - Chipping Campden

A walk in memory of Beatrice. This was one of her favourite walks. We were joined at the start by her sister Jo who had come to meet Beatrice's friend. She joined us on the walk up to Dover's Hill and talked to us about Beatrice.

From Dover's Hill we went down through The Dingle, stopped to look at Burnt Norton. Then down to Norton Grounds Farm, through Aston Subedge, almost to Buckle Street and steeply back up to Dover's Hill.  Just under 8 miles with 850 feet of ascent.

Meeting in Chipping Campden. a very cold breeze at the start.

A splendid new path out to Dover's Hill

Down through The Dingle

The Manor House at Aston Subedge - much admired by Beatrice.

The tiny church of St Andrew and a coffee stop.

A bunker from the wartime airfield of Honeybourne

Beautiful buttercups

The steeper bit on the way back where, since I was last here,  the landowner has fenced in the footpath - it looks horrible and it was thought Beatrice would have hated it.

The final bit to the top of Dover's Hill
