ノースムアでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The attractive pheasant was introduced to Europe from Asia for hunting. It loves our local countryside, and eats a wide range of food including grain, worms, spiders and green shoots. It nests on the ground among thick vegetation laying 6-15 eggs which hatch after 23 days. The mosaic jokingly pairs the pheasant with its arch-enemy the fox in a permanent pas-de-deux.

A favourite with the midges in hot weather!

The south eastern bit of the village is the most beautiful part.

Nice section, dry in winter. Leads down the thames path

Two great pub options at this bridge for some well earned fuel.

The "new bridge" of Newbridge is actually a 13th century bridge. It has its own Wikipedia entry, being the oldest or 2nd oldest bridge across the Thames. You have a choice of pub/restaurants beside the bridge from which to admire the river: the Maybush on the southern bank and the Rose Revived on the northern bank.

June 2020: no access across the river to Appleton

The bridleway along the northern edge of Appleton Lower Common is narrow and often muddy. Keep your eyes peeled across the fields, and particularly at the edges of the forest for wild creatures here, as deer make this woodland their home along with many others. At either end of the woodland, you can join tracks that run parallel to the River Thames, Appleton to the east and south-west down to Netherton village.
