This morning the clocks changed, and we decided on a compromise to get up three quarters of an hour earlier, which is a quarter of an hour later, relative to yesterday! What amazed us that there were relatively few people out walking on such a lovely day. I wanted to check out a turn off I wished I had tried on one of our recent walks to Wookey.
From home by going up Milton Lane reached Milton Hill. I thought we were heading for Arthur's Point, but had not taken the map. Had we followed the map and made for Milton Hill, we would have bypassed Split Rock Quarry. What a little find. Since arriving back I have, par hazard, found a link to a post by my U3A geology group.
On the right hand side the Limestone is quite grey
A path takes you through to the Eastern edge of the woods, with views towards Model Farm and their lovely orchard. As we retraced our steps, the autumn sunshine was stunning.
We then walked down Lime Kiln Lane
Then we walked down pass St Cuthbert's Paper Mill. Back in September 2017, I was lucky enough to be taken on a tour of the Mills and see the world famous artist paper being made.
then via roads and paths back home. Mr S made up lunch of doorstep cornbeef sandwiches which he had been hankering after. On our walk, as we passed the mill and saw the lions he wondered whether the Lion there had been the symbol for his Lion Brand writing pad which he was given at the same time as his first fountain pen, when he was but a lad? Lions were used as symbols on all sorts of things
That looks a most interesting stroll Noelle. The lion is intriguing. We were up early too probably woken up by the lighter start to the day out there. Quite blue and sunny too here but we had to stay close at home as we were waiting for an online delivery. Needs must.
