17th January 2018 9.9 miles map of route
We left half of the cars at Dyrham village, then all went to the Lansdown Park & Ride. It was a bright, breezy day with a good amount of sunshine, not bad for January.
We walked past the Race Course to join the Cotswold Way at Prospect Stile
The outskirts of Bristol
We were surprised to see these characters
By the golf course
We reach Hanging Hill
The flags commemorate the Batte of Lansdown Hill in the Civil War 1643
We read about the battle
Sir Brevil Greville’s Monument – he was one of the leaders who was killed, along with many others
The first snowdrops we have seen this year
We will walk by that lake
Through a ford
Some more characters in Greenway Lane
Cold Ashton
Cold Ashton Manor – built in the early 1600s – the steps were a good place for our picnic
Cold Ashton church
The end – Dyrham Village – is in sight
A new stone wall with seat
