A morning “stroll”, I said. “before coffee.”
Just over 2 miles, taking 1and a half hours, only 240 feet of climbing, but boggy and bumpy terrain….
.
And up the other side, with a look back at the village
The path through access land, turns right just before the Miner’s Rest farmhouse, and goes along the bottom of their garden, with a gate at each end.
On the track just beyond is a building which. may have something to do with the old lead mines.
The next part of the walk is rough ground, crossing a small stream or two, past cattle
then following a wall until we reached a footpath to our right.
The going improved …a little…
The remains of another old building
Another tricky bit of descent to a footbridge
back over the River West Allen
uphill along a nettle-rich path
and finally along the road, past the church
and back for a slightly later, but much appreciated coffee and cake outside in occasional sun.
