This walk is in the past.
This is a lovely meander taking in a section of my Backwell Hill loop with not one but two Jubilee Stones, a canine curiosity and a former Benedictine Nunnery...
We begin ascending Backwell Hill to the first Jubilee Stone with views across the Severn Estuary to as far as the Brecon Beacons (if clear), also visible are Tyntesfield House and Steep Holme. We then make our way down through Bourton Combe woods before rising up to pass 13th century Barrow Court (originally a Benedictine Nunnery) and on towards the second Jubilee Stone, past Freeman's Quarry and along the ridge looking down to the airport, then through a couple of farms (on previous occasions I have been greeted by donkeys, pigs, goats, geese and docile highland cattle!), through Chelvey and old Backwell Village.
Bring packed lunch.
