A walk on the Cotswold Way

Dursley

I spent Easter morning taking a walk on the hills behind Dursley, a market town about 12 minutes drive away. It was a hazy day and a little cooler than it has been. The Cotswold Way is a National Trail, one of the long-distance trails in England. It is 102 miles long and ends south of Slimbridge in Bath. The highest elevation along the trail is 317 meters.

Imagine walking through the scene above listening to the church bells pealing from the town below.

Much of the route follows a golf course, sometimes along the edge, sometimes in the woods. There were dozens of boys from tweens on up in age playing golf, all neatly dressed in slacks and golf shirts or sweaters instead of swim trunks with surfboards under their arms!

This sign made me smile...

Even though the views were hazy there were ferns and flowers along the way to brighten my walk...

Ending with this wall of wisteria across the street from the car park.
