Walking through History


Weavers Cottages






Woollen Mill









Remains of fountain at Roman Villa



Stone age mound





























Path along disused canal - about to go for 3 miles underground. We went over the top.


















Owlpen Manor
























I had a great week in the Cotswolds walking. The tour guide was terrific, the group was 6 Americians and myself - interesting.

We walked about 8 miles a day through fields, woods, and along canals. I was one of the fittest members of the group.

We saw 2 stone age mounds, an iron age mound, ruins of a 4th century Roman villa, barn, still used, built in 9th century, churches, fine houses, weavers cottages, woollen mills and beautiful gardens many very productive.

Good Afternoon Pat, What a joy to have you back on the Blog.
I have read so much about The Cotswalds, I am glad to know someone who has actually walked there. Eugenie

Hi Pat

I loved that weavers cottage photo. Now the weather is better too. We are hoping to do the Wye canoe thing with some friends in August.
