The ancient hill forts and long barrows; being blown over by ferocious winds on the top of Cleeve Common; beautiful, huge, old beech trees in the many woods; bread & cheese picnic in churchyard next to Dyrham Park & on rampart of hill fort; gracious hostess and our own cottage at Little Smith; always being able to find the way markers.
It was more strenuous than we had expected – lots of steep ups and downs. But the challenge of it, the beautiful views, the friendliness of the people and the pubs and B&Bs at the end of the day made it all worthwhile.
