Ilmington Downs

It was a mild winters weekend Saturday which saw us out and about in The South Warwickshire Village of Ilmington just inside The Cotwolds near The Gloucestershire Warwickshire boarder. The short journey of twenty five miles from Coventry was pleasant in the winter sunshine. The views where good and we could see The Malverns where we walked last week in the distant. Also we could see the skyline of home (Coventry) twenty three miles away in the distant. Was a fairly gentle walk to the top of the downs and round back to the beautiful village of Ilmington which is famous for its Morris dancing and one of the first outside BBC Broadcasts. The terrain was a little muddy in places and did get a little heavy under foot but lots of puddles and a few streams to wash it off. All in all a nice day out in the country left us all relaxed, refreshed and I did certainly sleep well that night. I have found this winter so far with the walks, a lot more sunshine and milder than usual easier to get through. Happy trekking !
