		Ray stops to show us the Castle Combe TV ariel hidden away in the woods outside the village .
		Before we continue down the valley .
		Our path taking us round the edge of someone's garden .
		Where we stop to look down the valley .
		And talk .
		A clamber over a stile .
		And on to North Wraxall .
		Where coffee is taken at the church .
		No chance of taking this painting though - its alarmed .
		It starts to drizzle as we leave the church .
		Squeezing past a tractor .
		A pause to remove waterproofs which had been briefly worn .
		And we set off again .
		Taking briefly to a road .
		A colourful tree .
		And a picturesque garden .
		Views now restricted by high hedges either side .
		Our route takes us down into West Kington .
		Stopping to say hello to this chap .
		Who lives across the road from some of his bigger friends .
		We now follow a stream .
		Poles needed to stop us falling into the water .
		An idyllic spot .
		We head uphill .
		To the church .
		For lunch .
		Leaving the churchyard .
		We head out of the village .
		Through some thick undergrowth .
		Along the valley .
Having rung the bell .
We cross the golf course .
And pause to look from this bridge .
Towards the hotlel in Castle Combe .

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 Led 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 Ramblers.
