Itโ€™s amazing what you discover on just a four mile #walk in the #English #countryside! Too much for one toot in fact! Itโ€™s dripping with #history. Hereโ€™s some starters.

1. A #NineteenthCentury #MilePost
2. A view of the #River #Severn vale #landscape
3. A ginormous and venerable #Black #Poplar #tree

(Three more to follow!)

A milepost / milestone I saw on the Wilton Road in #CorkCity #Cork marking 2 miles to Cork city + 16 miles to Innishannon

Apparently it dates from around 1830! It looks a little uncared for- perhaps it could be cleaned up a bit...

The mile post makes me think it's a skull buried in the moss. On the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Wheelton
