My favourite walk

Glorious sunshine at last, and I had to go out in the countryside.

 

So I park by the allotments and take the path that leads down to the Saxon Mill.

 

on my right, a rape field

on my left, in the distance, across the river is Guy's Cliff House which burnt down in the 1920s I think - or should I say Thornhill Hall

and a closer look

it is such a glorious day, not a cloud in sight

I have now walked down the hill and I am much closer to the house

now I cross the first bridge

the pond on my left

I can see the second bridge in the distance through the foliage

the second bridge and the Saxon Mill at the end of it

the weir

it is 11.30 so not many people here

in an hour it will be packed

you can see the house from here

and now I take the path up the hill that will take me to the village

you can see the church at the top

almost reached the top

through the churchyard

walk through the fields, a last look at Guy's Cliff House, and back to the allotments.
