Pub Walk (112) Saturday 1st April 2023, from the Seven
Tuns, Chedworth
|
North Cotswold Branch of the Campaign for
Real Ale
|
9
walkers turned up in wet weather for the 112th Saturday Pub Walk at
the Seven Tuns Chedworth. The latest of many walks at this popular free house
at the Southern part of our Branch area. Excellent walking around this historic
pub with up to 4 changing real ales.
We
set off as the rain subsided after taking the usual group photo (Photo 1)
heading west from the pub and following the road networks due to recent heavy
rain (Photo 2). At the junction turn left following the road in a South
Eastern direction then fork left and pass under the disused railway bridge.
Remain on the road past Well Hill and the School, past Hartpury Farm. Keep the
valley in sight to your left ignoring side turnings until reaching the valley
bottom at Bleakmoor. Pausing for a team photo as we crossed the stream (Upper
source of the river Coln) which had created a lake at this point (Photo 3).
Carrying
on up Pankake Hill, we turned left at the second junction up to the Monarch’s
Way. Great views south over the Chedworth Valley along this part of the walk as
we now headed west then north west. Normally we would use the smaller footpaths
but remained on the bridleway with a firmer surface. On reaching the road we
turned left and followed the road to Chedworth pausing at the second bend for
two photographs at a path we would normally use to enjoy a wonderful daffodil
display (Photo 4 and 5). The last hill to the pub had turned into
a river (Photo 6).
A
reserved table for us (Photo 7) with a choice of Otter Amber or Hooky
Bitter (Photo 8) served by the top team.
Next
time, Walk No 113 on Sat 6th May at the Plough Inn Stretton
on Fosse. 1015 for 1030hrs start.
