Wednesday 1st: In the woods above Dursley we find this shelter
The information board at Breakheart Quarry tells us what we can hope to see.
And this is what we see!
In the distance is the Tyndale Monument
Another information board explains the habitat enhancement in progress
Moss climbing up young trees
At least I think it’s moss
We emerge from the Quarry to one of the best views in the area
We are not its only admirers
Sunday 5th: Looking out from a path at the bottom of Stinchcombe Hill
Cam Peak in the distance
In the wood the bluebells are just starting to flower
Wood Anemones nearby.
We climb to the top of Stinchcombe Hill on the sunken lane
Where a tree fell in the winter storms
The Tyndale Monument
Birch tree, still bare after winter
Cowslips
Stancombe Park
Orchid plant but no flowers yet
A deserted Stinchcombe Hill golf course
Good Friday: The Cross has been put up on top of Cam Peak
Downham Hill from Uley Bury
We head back towards Dursley through woodland and past the chicken farm
Continuing to the sculpture trail with its foxes
And a Lion!
Tuesday 14th: Lots more bluebells in the woods on Stinchcombe Hill today
It’s a good year for them
Plenty of wild garlic too
Good views from the top
Looking out towards the river
Sharpness
Not much traffic on the M5 today
Down at Stancombe Park the trees are turning green
Wednesday 15th: The southern side of Cam Long Down is covered with bluebells
Their scent is delicious
The bare field which was flooded in March is now baked dry
Descending from Cam Long Down
A last look back on the return to Dursley
