A series of short walks.
Given that it's summer and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, it seemed appropriate to try and remind everyone that it is in fact still summer. A couple of weeks ago, I went on a series of short walks and didn't have the intention of positing any of them, however, the weather has kindly written a post for me.
Wednesday: I paid a visit to Pitstone hill. Easily one of my favourite places, the views are rival to those at Coombe hill and Ivinghoe beacon except this spot offers a better walk along the ridge of the hill, giving you panoramic views towards Ivinghoe, Pitstone and Wendover
Thursday: A passing visit to Coombe hill. On my way home, I realised I had the opportunity to catch the sunset at Coombe hill. Need I say more?
Friday: I took a short trip around the chess valley. I've covered this area more than once in detail but it never disappoints. The rolling hills, lush fields, enchanting woodland and delicate villages really make this place feel magical.
Saturday: a local visit to an area near Pednor (also featured in my last post). I didn't have to travel far for this one but you rarely need to. I was peacefully left in a field at dusk with nothing but a camera, a beautiful sky, and a few skittish Roe deer to keep me company.
Sunday: I travelled slightly further afield to College Lake. A place I hadn't visited before but it has certainly cemented itself on my list of favourite places and I thought I would grace you with two pictures rather than just one. The footpath circumnavigates the lake with a number of scenic picnic areas, bird hides, and tourist information boards but its also worth mentioning there is a nice pub just round the corner.
