We decided to go for a hike to see the local village. Following the Neolithic Cotswold way.
It's a footpath that is part of the route that links all the standing stones in the country and was walked by the stone age people making pilgrimage for the solstice festivals.
There are loads of burial barrows along the route as it the Neolithic people liked to take their ancestors remains with them to celebrate.
It's a well established route and it links lots of places so continued to be used during the iron and bronze ages, and by the romans.
Lots of good history.
We walked to the village and accidentally trespassed through a manor house garden. Stopped off at the arts centre for wees and directions then.on up the hill to the iron age fort and the long barrow.you can go inside it!
Well worth the walk.
We went to prema for a late lunch of roasted vegetables and flat bread. Then back to the campsite to mooch.
