	We set off on our walk to Petworth
	We notice some large crosses in the churchyard and wonder
	We pass through the grounds of Burton Park
	Now a residential community
	And visit its chapel
	With monuments
	And wall paintings
	We are impressed by this huge tree
	Arriving at the lake
	We pause for our coffee stop
	Bluebells and stitchworts
	10 petals
	A sign of recent stormy weather
	An awkward stile
	Is that clear?
	We pass through a farm with a huge field of oil seed rape
	And reach a very pretty garden
	Not to be ignored
	Anne investigates further
	So attractive
	More large houses
	Any idea what is going on here?
	Off through some woods
	A very rich habitat
With mature trees
What are they looking at?
A well organised garden
We stop for the loos
Reaching Fittleworth
Really?
Where it has started to rain
So we pop into the church for shelter for our lunch stop
Afterwards we continue past Amen corner
And see the gates to Bryan Ferry's home
Another lovely garden
Very colourful on this dull day
What a gloomy afternoon
We reach "Gog" ...
And "Magog"
Phil tells us the history of these buildings near to Petworth
We can now see Petworth town on the horizon
We descend in the valley and climb up again
Into the town
Phil tells us where the tea room is - and many of us are off there immediately to dry out
Before returning through the cobbled streets to catch the coach
