Kilkenny Viewpoint car park - Enid in charge
We follow a wide track along the side of a field
Straw gathered in for winter bedding and fodder
Continuing on our way
Into Dowdeswell where Jill fills us in on some of the local history
The manor house
And the well
A row of cottages
John on the losing side?
A short road walk
Across a field recently cropped
And then one left fallow
The view down into the valley
A steep downhill slope
Arriving at the church where they are getting ready for a wedding
Jill now fills us in on the history of the church
As we stop for coffee
They are doing a grand job
Our route now takes us past this sculpture
And an unusual structure to a large house
A chance to pick blackberries
And look back at Dowdeswell Church
Crossing fields we approach a farm
Where we spot some ancient farm machinery
Through the farmyard
Then heading uphill
Looking across to the Malverns
And to Cleeve Hill
Pausing as we enter Lineover Woods
Then uphill
A herd of cattle cross our path
A straggler
Now in a field of sheep
A handy gate to lean on
Past St. Paul's Epistle - ancient burial mound - probably used when beating the bounds
St. Paul's mobile phone mast
Back to the start
