Back in the UK, Wotton Under-Edge

DSC01061Tyndale MonumentTyndale Monument - to an early translator of the Bible into English. Wotton under-edge is a village not too far from Bristol and a favorite local walk when we're in the UK.

Screenshot from 2019-07-21 07-33-23Map We parked on the Old London Road just past the major parking area. This is a popular area when the weather is nice and on weekends. I didn't make a GPS track because we've been here so often. We walked around the edge to the north, climbed up onto the top, walked to the monument, and then back across the top to the car. In the UK (but not the US) Bing maps will show the ordnance survey maps. To encourage them, I left that part of the screenshot in.

Almost anywhere in the UK, you'll find people walking their dogs off-lead when they are away from the roads.  Most of the time they even make sure that the droppings are off the trail.

Most of the woods are dark and somewhat gloomy, but there are patches of blackberry (not yet ripe), raspberry (excellent), and miscellaneous wildflowers
