Poor Clares and views from Selsley Common

7 November 2007

.
On Selsley Common we park carefully waiting for Ray to lead us off
.
And then head off along the driveway of Bown Hill Equestrian Centre
..
Breasting the top of the hill we encounter a dramatic sky
.
The autumn colours still very much in evidence as we look down into a small valley
.
We continue downhill looking across to Windsoredge and Nailsworth
.
Cottages nestling down in the valley bottom
.
We pass the Convent of poor Clares, Ray having told us some of its history - VISIT THEIR WEBSITE
.
And head back uphill to South Woodchester
.
Where we pause for coffee
.
We spot some wallabies left behind by disgruntled Australian rugby supporters as they fled home from France
.
Woodchester Church basking in the late morning sunshine
.
We start to climb back up the hill
.
With views across to the Bowl
.
Doverow Hill
.
And Rodborough Fort
.
Then it's back across Selsley Common to the cars

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.
