Amberley War Memorial, ready for Ann's walk
We set off towards Houndscroft where the cows have recently been allowed out on to the common
We pass below one of the houses on the converted Amberley Ridge site
And walk below the Bear
We descend a path, where these horses are working for the National Trust eating vegetation to benefit wild flowers
Views over the Brimscombe valley
Looking ahead on Butterow Lane
We cross the railway line. Our visitor has come from Durban, South Africa.
Beautiful hawthorn blossom
The first people wait on the bridge
And look along the canal
Where work is going on
We're told that a steam train will be passing so we wait while having coffee for the Clun Castle
Which passes very rapidly
There are lots of people scattered about trying to catch sight of it
We continue along the canal. There's a major amount of work to do to clear ahead
And behind us
We head uphill and pass Bownham Common
Where many admire the alliums in this garden
Cat unfazed by all these walkers
Beautiful flowering shrubs on our way to Brimscombe Hill
Up on to the golf course
Where Highland cattle are out
We walk through the buttercups towards Amberley
Past a herd of cows
Where one youngster is getting a good wash
Very thorough
