主の森のおすすめランニングルート

Lords Woods, just south of Woollard is really worth. visit! Beautiful woodland, and it is quite large! It can easily be accessed by hiking from Woollard & surroundings, but I parked up here on the western side. There is a small area for parking, and you can explore the woodland from here. Plenty of paths to get lost in!

WELL! When I walked here, it was (genuinely) the muddiest hike I had ever been on! So, if you're planning to go & it's been raining a lot recently, be prepared for actual flooded fields! It is a really stunning place, so it is worth it, and usually, of course, it won't be flooded! But because it is low-laying, rainwater does accumulate in the fields around, just something to bear in mind if it is/has been very wet.

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

CLUE... something not as it seems on the private tree

This footpath between Woollard and Compton Dando is part of the 45 mile (72 km) Community Forest Path which circles Bristol. This section crosses fields above the River Chew.

The stream enters the River Chew just under the Publow Lane bridge.

Gorgeous Woodland. Really stunning villages nearby, too. The fields in the vicinity can become *very* waterlogged after a lot of rain!!

Lovely walk. Bluebells were stunning. The last 400m presented a difficulty as it appears the road has been closed to private only use near the church. Turn right instead of left over the little bridge then take a left at the top of the hill. The pub is good too. PjS
