I am blessed to live in a beautiful village that has some great local walks, however after being here 10 years I realised that there are some that I have not been out and investigated. So finding myself without a car and with an absolutely gorgeous spring day, I felt I had to get out and about and take a look!
Driving this road I always saw the Tree house, but took a closer look today, needs some work I do think...... Didn't venture up into it as it woudl have caused a crash in the house price!
The footpath is just a little way past this local landmark, and Arthur was delighted to be able to run free for a bit, even if the grass was just a little to long, so he kinda bounced his way along.
I have to say that being out and about today sure beats sat at home, It does make me think hard about the area I live in and just how much time I don't spend in it. I tend to live in my little online bubble and am way to out of tune with nature.
Now, the next spot of the walk was not so easy to find as there was no Public Footpath sign, I do wonder if this is another that a local has removed as it does cut across the tops of fields with sheep in. This has happened before in our area on the other side, and you may have even been met by the farmer and his shotgun to try to deter people from using the footpath. Now I am not saying this is the case here, but I did double check on my map that this was the right place.
And what a view!
All in all it was only 2 miles, mainly as I took a wrong turn at one of the hedges and therefore turned left to soon, which I think Arthur was very grateful for as his legs are only little even if there are 4 of them!
Sometimes, it pays to be a tourist at home as I am fortunate to live in a place where people need to plan a visit. And something I really need to do more of!
