バーストンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Quaint Village. Worth looking around the Church and Visit to the Bulls Head is a must!

Going from the road to the ford it gets worse as you go along. During wet weather I wouldn’t even bother trying but there again I wasn’t on a MTB. The ford looks as though it could be deep in the middle with the farm vehicles grooves. The foot bridge to one side has a pipe which you have to get over, no big deal if walking but a bit more fiddly if you are on a bike. Once you get to the middle it gets worse but hour in the middle, do you turn around or hope it gets better. It doesn’t get better…

Fantastic stained glass window pop in to see it

Great pub, and very historical

The village has many historic buildings, some of which are timber-framed. The Church of St. Swithin is a Church of England church which dates from 1721, and is built on the site of an earlier church. The village also possesses two pubs, The Bulls Head Archived 14 December 2018 at the Wayback Machine and The Malt Shovel, and about 50 residential properties. The Barston Memorial Institute, opposite the Bulls Head, hosts many village activities with a Friday night youth club and regular Art Classes as well as the Barston WI and U3A meetings. There is no bus service or any other form of public transport in the village, although an abandoned bus stop still exists at the end of the central road of Barston, Oak Lane, which is left over from an old-school service from the 1970s and 1980s. Next to the bus stop is an old-fashioned red phone box.
