블레딩턴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

진흙탕이 될 수 있습니다! 차를 세워두기 좋은 장소가 아닙니다.

In the case of a "market cross," as we encounter here again, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected if the corresponding locality also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted them by the local ruler.

A rather nice pub that is also a live music venue. The band tonight opened with 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley. An upbeat way to finish my walk. 'Don't worry...About a thing'😊

"The Church of England parish church of St Andrew has a 14th-century perpendicular gothic west tower with a 15th-century top. The chancel was rebuilt in 1688. In 1852–53 the church was heavily restored and the south aisle was added. The tower has a ring of eight bells, all cast in 1924 by John Taylor of Loughborough. The church is a Grade II listed building. Both The Rectory and the Old Rectory Cottage are 17th century."

The Village Green at Bledington is a lovely place to stop and rest. If picnic benches, wildflowers, ducks, bantams and a brook running through it aren't enough there is always the 16th century public house, The Kings Head.

The King’s Head Inn is a Cotswolds inn that dates back to the 16th century when it was originally built as a cider house. Situated on picturesque village green with a brook running through it and ducks and bantams wandering freely around makes this an ideal place to stop for a refreshing drink or a meal

Icomb is a pleasant little village close to Stow on the Wold in the Cotswolds. The village features many beautiful cottages and an impressive church with striking medieval carvings.

Great start & finish point. Lots of places to have a coffee, a cup of tea or something stronger and plenty of choice if you want something to eat too. Not an expert but the shopping looks interesting as well. Worth a visit.
