타란트 몽크톤 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Most people who pass by such a war memorial commemorating the victims will not have experienced the horrors of war firsthand. A dialogue invented by the writer Paul Harding might help. It is from a medieval detective novel, and the following exchange takes place: "Tell me, brother, when you went to war in France with your little brother, were you happy?" Athelstan felt his heart leap. "Of course." He smiled thinly. "I was young then. My blood was boiling, and I longed for great adventures." "And when you found your brother dead and cold as ice on the battlefield and returned to England... what was there?" Athelstan looked out into the courtyard; it was slowly getting dark. "In the Gospel, Sir John, Christ says that at the end of the world, the heavens will shake, and the planets will fall to earth in blazing fire." Athelstan closed his eyes. He felt Francis's spirit very clearly. "When I found my brother dead in the field," he continued, "it was like heaven falling to earth for me."

Hilly but once up the valley the views are beautiful 😍

This is the site of Tarrant Rushton RAF during the Second World War. Gliders would take off the evening before D day and the first boots on the ground were from said gliders. The destination was Pegasus bridge in France 🇫🇷.

A place with a lot of history, and a bench if you need to stop for a drink and a snack

Easy ride around the former wartime airbase, where D-day gliders took off.

Always put your waste in a bin!

Amazing place to ride, bit too bumpy and uneven for a road bike

Fast Downhill and Tough Uphill (Really)

Stop, pause and reflect🇬🇧
