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.

Tuesday 12th November 2024 - Moreton-in-Marsh

Starting from the Croquet club at Moreton-in-Marsh. Out Sezincote then north to Bourton-on-the-Hill and towards Blockley. Returning through Batsford. Just over 8 miles. A cool gloomy morning only for the sun to come out after we finished.

Tuesday 29th October 2024 - West Down, Dartmoor

A glorious sunny morning for a walk on the edge of Daartmoor and co-incidentaly very close to where we used to live. It was also a major co-incidence that the start of the walk was only a 5 minute walk from where we were staying.


Down the bridal path towards Grenofen.

Alongside the River Walkham

Under the cycle path

Looking acrooss to Princetown and Peak Hill





Walked past this many times before but missed it.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me.......and so on!
