Ros lays down the law as she gets our walk underway
And we head off across fields
Name of Ginger
And into the new houses on the outskirts of Cirencester
Over the bypass
Another supermarket trolley bites the dust
We gather round for Ros to to give us a bit of Cirencester's history
An unusual seat in the nature reserve
With some interesting carving
Continuing round Cirencester
Bricks in the street marking the boundary of the Roman Forum
Do they supply walks leaders?
Through a small shopping mall - the Woolmarket
Christmas definitely coming
That's what we need - free alcohol
A busy river
Heading for the bandstand
For coffee
The church across the other side of the park
A very old house
Then a row of old cottages in Coxwell Street
Another important part of the town's history
And a more modern work of art
We cross over the bypass again
Entering the grounds of the hospital
And Querns Wood
Heading for the Amphitheatre
Which we explore
Standing on the top
To look across the town
And imagining the Romans playing games
An information board tells us more about it
They must have had a cold night
Where the Romans parked their chariots
Now walking through an industrial estate
Making our way over to Siddington
Can't be clearer than that
Looks like a buzzard on the goal post
And a strange shaped house in the distance
Now walking along the old canal
Past a memorial to Christopher Bowly - a temperance campaigner
Walking round the edge of open fields
A short road stretch
Where we cross the river again
Then through the grounds of a large house as we head back to the cars
