Everdon wander


A couple of short blog entries coming up. In fact this little walk at Everdon was never intended to be written up at all. We were just going over to see the Bluebells at Everdon Stubbs. Unfortunately we were a week or two early and not many were in bloom. 

We continued into the lovely village of Everdon as it was such a pleasant Spring day. Sadly 'The Plough'  Public House was not open, or indeed the Village Hall where we have had cream teas in the past. Very much a sign of the times......

We continue through the village past the Church and the Field Studies Centre on the road to Fawsley. There should be a footpath somewhere near the bend that will take us off the road. Thankfully I manage to find it after originally walking past it. There are some beautiful views across the fields from our elevated position. We pass Everdon Hill Farm and then Westcombe Farm on our left. 


We could continue on to Fawsley but this will keep for another day. Particularly as there is a steep hill (Temple Hill) the other side of the road. 

We are very tempted to continue down the road to the village of Preston Capes. Instead we pick up the road back to Everdon. It's very quiet with little traffic to worry about. We have parked at the top of the hill by the 'Stubbs' so it is a long and winding not to mention steep climb. The views to our right make it all the more enjoyable.
