Shipton Moyne and the Estcourt Estate

31 October 2007

It's all smiles outside the Cat and Custard Pot as we meet for our walk
.
And we set off along the beautifully manicured walkways of the Estcourt Estate
..
Then down into the valley
.
Towards Tetbury
.
We walk alongside the viaduct as we enter the town
.
Then through one of the arches
.
A reminder of the day - it's Halloween, plenty of witches on this walk!
.
Coffee is taken in the churchyard
.
Some of us having a look inside the church
.
Yes, it's the South Cots on the rampage!
.
One of Tetbury's splendid houses
.
We congregate in a gateway
.
Before heading back up the main driveway of the Estcourt Estate
.
Following the path back across the immaculate fields
.
With a quick pause for Olivia to check that she has not lost anybody
.
Before leaping over a stile, heading into Shipton Moyne
.
To be greeted by this chap
.
And his mother
.

Who seems to be very friendly
.
And in need of a bit of fuss
.
Showing their appreciation after being given half an apple each
.
Friends we made at Shipton Moyne
.

top As you can see, we thoroughly enjoy getting to know the South Cotswolds. We try to keep fit and succeed in having a good old chat. If you are interested in coming with us, see our walks programme and ring the leader if you have any questions about a particular walk. After two or three walks we hope you will then want to join the group as part of the national Ramblers' Association.
