Brimscombe walk - Wednesday 4 December 2019 Previous Next All That's where we going, says Ann We set off along the canal on a misty morning Then head uphill Towards Swells Hill Along the side of the valley To the ice cream and Christmas Tree parlour The look says it all Continuing along the common Across the road To the other side of the common with views of Selsley Starting downhill Doverow Hill and the valley laid out before us Rodborough Church in the centre of the photo The Kestrels And Rodborough Fort above us For coffee we stop at the Pavilion Watched by a robin Then continue downhill Towards Fromebanks Been doing a bit of off roading The River Frome flowing through Stroud We follow it As it meanders through a wooded area At times a raging torrent Bridge carrying the by-pass And a chance to pose Underneath the arches The canal passing under the viaduct And a glimpse of the river through the arches Bowbridge lock Continuing along the canal Approaching a bridge Same bridge from the sunny side Jubilee bridge And another lock Who said they couldn't get a boat up this far? Past the new brewery And along the canal back to the start. Photos and captions by Richard, uploaded by Sally
