||
We are on the way home stopping
outside Betws-y-Coed at the Fairy Glen . |
||
What shall we see? . |
||
No sign of fairies that way . |
||
Finding fairies involves some pretty
hard scrambling . |
||
They must be there somewhere . |
||
Perhaps if we all keep quiet . |
||
Still no sign . |
||
A couple of smiling gnomes? . |
||
We continue the search . |
||
Here's what we're looking for . |
||
We keep looking . |
||
But eventually have to give up . |
||
Heading uphill past another isolated
farmhouse . |
||
We pass through very quiet countryside . |
||
To reach Capel Garmon . |
||
With its friendly natives . |
||
We head for the churchyard . |
||
What a setting! . |
||
We pause to chat . |
||
And to admire the view . |
||
Nice backdrop . |
||
An unusual memorial stone set in the
wall - and quite a coincidence, he died exactly 70 years ago . |
||
We head off across fields . |
||
Past more locals - are they friendly? . |
||
To a neolithic burial site . |
||
Erected 2500-1000 BC . |
||
And here is a neolithic man to greet
us . |
||
As he shows a group of
neolithic tourists round his house . |
||
We stop for coffee on a grassy bank . |
||
With views across the wooded hills . |
||
Then continue downhill . |
||
Our last ladder stile before reaching the cars . | ||

As you can see, as well as getting to know the South Cotswolds, we arrange the occasional walking holiday. 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. |
