배샘프턴 우즈 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Avon 강과 합류하는 Avon 운하의 오래된 수문입니다. 과거에는 주로 암석을 운반했지만 이제는 그 시대가 지나갔습니다. 남은 것은 Bath 시내 바로 외곽에 있는 이 멋진 수문들입니다.

햇볕 좋은 날 휴식을 취하기 좋은 멋진 장소입니다.

대부분의 영국 운하 길처럼 내 마음에 들지 않게 너무 좁습니다. 하지만 더 나은 대안은 없다고 생각해서 계속 진행했습니다.

The pub is now closed 😢

Although the parish church of St Peter at Monkton Farleigh was largely rebuilt in the 19th century, it retains some features of the 12th century -the tower and the north door. This early building was possibly connected to the foundation of the Cluniac Priory in the same village in about 1120-30. Today it has an aisleless nave and chancel in 13th century style, built of local limestone, under a considerable quantity of stone tiles on the roof. Despite being so close to the source of some of the best building stone in the country, the whole church, apart from some dressings, is made of rubble stone. It is listed, Grade II* for the old parts. Monkton Farleigh church tower The west tower is 12th century Norman romanesque with twin round-headed windows with roll mouldings on each face of the bell chamber. Short buttresses at the base, the parapet and saddleback roof were added later. The tall arch into the nave is from a Victorian “restoration”. The other medieval survival is the porch on the north side of the nave, which protects a typical Norman round-arched doorway with chevron decoration into which a Tudor doorway had been inserted and retains its wooden door of that time.

Very beautiful and pleasant

Beautiful church, an absolute highlight of Bath.

I don’t usually like audio guides but this was really well done. Interesting castle history, but also the characters and stories. And the chapel at the end is an excellent finale. I spent almost an hour here. No cafe but you can get tea/coffee/ ice cream. A good stop!
