Jill studies her notes as we meet outside the Butchers Arms in Sheepscombe
Quite a crowd
Looks a bit threatening
So we hurry down the hill
But they just want to join us
Continuing up the other side of the valley we have views of Sheepscombe
Personalised number plate
Named after the house. Or was the house named after the car number?
We continue along the side of the valley
Looking across to Painswick
A farm entrance with a sculpture of a fox
And a pond
And a Quaker Burial Ground
Then we head down into the valley
Past Lovedays Mill
After coffee we follow the Painswick stream up valley
Now at Damsells Mill
A level path for a while
Mill pond now just mud
We start to climb
Now the footpath is diverted round this house
Another use for an old log
More wood carvings
Views of Sheepscome across the valley
As we head up into the woods
A pause at the top
Our route then taking us across Sheepscombe Common and back to the village
