Our starting point - Aston Clun beside the Arbor Tree | ||
Which is decorated as part of the annual village celebration | ||
Our route lies through the village following a stream | ||
Would have thought they might have swum across | ||
Now heading up a pretty valley | ||
Heading towards | ||
Hopesay and St Mary's church |
||
Which we reach via a lych gate | ||
A look inside | ||
Before we leave the church with its unusual wooden tower | ||
Continuing up the valley through the Walcot Estate | ||
Past a hippy home | ||
We reach Bury Ditches where we stop for lunch | ||
Continuing across the prehistoric site we pass a wood carving | ||
On the back of which is a diagram of the old village | ||
Crossing the top of the hill | ||
We have views of the Long Mynd | ||
The harvest well advanced | ||
And a chance to buy jam from a stall outside a farm | ||
Before making our way into Clun | ||
And a quick look at its castle - or remains thereof | ||
