We went to the Monster Raving Loony Party conference and it was, well, loony
There's nothing quite like exploring a new garden and I had a recent first trip out to Westonbury Mill Water Gardens. I say first because this garden of lush planting and surprise is definitely on my 'must return' list. Read about my visit here: https://bit.ly/4pgS1hN

The last day we were very much looking forward to being home. The weather was as changeable as the previous days had been so there was a lot if stopping to put on/take off our rain coats but it was sunny as we got to Hereford. We had lunch, visited the cathedral for a final goodbye and then took the train home. When we finally got home, it was wonderful to have a shower, clean clothes and a home cooked meal.

The next day we set off to our last church in Kingstone. We were tired and sore, but looking forward to seeing Dore Abbey on our way.
We were not disappointed. The weather was nice in the morning which made our descent towards Dore Abbey really lovely. The abbey itself was beautiful and a great place to spend some time in quiet contemplation.
The rest of the walk to Kingstone was easy despite the rain which set in towards the end of our journey. The church in Kingstone had a lot of lovely history which was told to us by the church warden. No shower, but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. We made pizza and enjoyed listening to the bell ringers doing their practice.

The sixth day started grey and rainy. There were three churches on our way where we could get pilgrim stamps. They were spread out nicely so we could have spaced out breaks in our walk. Unfortunately we had to miss the Llanceillo church because we needed to take a cow-related detour but the other churches were open and were a welcome stop on our way.
Sadly Rowlestone Farm was closed so we couldn't stop for ice cream but the fields around the farm were full of cute fluffy sheep so we were able to enjoy seeing them.
By the time we reached Ewyas Harold, we were hot, sweaty and, owing to the fact that we hadn't seen a shower in three days, stinky. Imagine our delight at finding out that the Ewyas Harold church hall had a shower. We happily made us of it and then went for a much-deserved pub dinner.

The fifth day we walked to Clodock. It was supposed to be a very rainy day and since we were both tired and hurting, we decided to take the country lanes as much as possible. I didn't feel like clambering over badly maintained stiles the whole day. Because of this decision, it was an easy day if walking. Apart from not having to climb over stiles, we also didn't have to stop every 10 minutes to consult the map and we didn't have to make detours to avoid cows so progress was fast.
When we got to the church in Clodock, the sun came out and we enjoyed sitting on a bench looking at the views over the Black Mountains. No pub in the town, but we had stopped in Longtown for supplies so we could enjoy a meal in the church.

The fourth day was supposed to be our rest day. It was only 7km to Craswall where we hoped to be just after lunch so we could rest, do some laundry and relax.
However, this sadly didn't turn out like a rest day. We lost the trail a couple of times and had to make a significant detour to avoid a field with cows and calves. By the time we made it ti Craswall we were hot, wet and tired.
Craswall church did not have any facilities either so we had to walk to a nearby farm which offers camping facilities. We were told there was a farm shop and the possibility to buy hot food but unfortunately when we got to the farm, it was closed and no one was at home. We were still able to use the facilities though, so I washed our laundry and hung it in the church to dry.

The third day the weather had turned and it was very wet. It was also getting a lot more hilly that day, so it was a challenging day all around. We were very grateful for the churches we could visit so we could get out if the rain.
After three days if walking, it was good to be able to shower. The church in Michaelchurch Escley does not have facilities but we were able to shower and use the toilets at the oub nearby. We also had a nice pub dinner which was very welcome after eating trail food for two days.

The second day the weather was a lot better. The countryside changed from fields of crops to orchards and the smell of apples and pears was very enticing. It was at times almost too warm.
Before Dorstone we visited Arthur's stone which reminded us again how much history there is in this part of the UK. We took a breather, then crossed a field of sheep towards Dorstone. We had to make a detour to avoid a field of cows with calves (which wouldn't be our last detour of that nature) and we were delighted to see Dorstone at last.

I've been back a few days but finally have time to tell you guys about my hike. My youngest son and I walked the Golden Valley Pilgrim Way in Herefordshire and walked just over 100km (60 miles) in 8 days. The landscape was beautiful, the churches a delight and steeped in history, the paths overgrown and difficult to find and the weather typically British: very changeable and unsettled. It was difficult but very rewarding and I am happy I did it.
We started in Hereford with a sleep in Hereford Cathedral (in the cloisters). We arrived after a 3 hour train ride, checked into the cloisters and checked out the cathedral. After evening prayer, we went into the town centre for a bite to eat.
Back in the Old Chapel, we set up our camp beds, put our mats and sleeping bags on it and had a great sleep.

This walk from Symonds Yat in #Herefordshire is full of interest. There is Yat Rock with spectacular views, an unusual ferry, a suspension bridge and King Arthur’s Cave. Add a riverside walk and an ancient sunken lane.

@uk Croft is definitely a wildlife haven. They keep a weekly wildlife board, and the sightings are impressive. Maybe not mega rarities, but plenty of wildlife that are not everyday sightings elsewhere.
