An avenue of ancient yews, ecclesiastically positioned, marking out the old path.

​

English oak, whitebeam, broad-leafed lime trees. Bluebells, hazel, Broad buckler fern, spleenwort, harts tongue.

Wet and green.

​

The canopy closed, cocooning the visitor, a steep ridge on the left. Old earthworks marking out boundaries: Offa's long legacy separating Mercia from the Welsh kingdoms.

​

Limekilns and hazel coppice, an old industrial legacy. Unending bird song.

 

Alkaline soils. Wild garlic.
