Great Walk

I can't walk past a church or graveyard without going in, especially fascinated by Commonwealth War Graves. Very moving so many young men died to give us the life we have today. Lest We Forget

Stunning views cross the lake to the "big house",

A nice surprise view after a small climb

so peaceful to sit on the hill.

Lovely peaceful stop.

Saint JOHN BAPTIST, to whom this church in Itchen-Abbas is dedicated, is a person on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments (just like the Holy Family with Mary and Joseph). His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth. After the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The feast day of Saint John Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Just of the main road down church lane the turning is marked by the was memorial. A beautiful ancient church- originally an early Christian Saxon church. I sat and took stock in the sunshine. Well worth a visit
