Burton Agnes Circular Walk

We went on the bus to Burton Agnes village then walked up the hill past the school to the start of the walk.

There were over 80 pictures to chose from so I hope I chose a good selection.

This is the start of the walk with the beautiful horse chestnut tree in full bloom and Vic with his wool hat on cause it was really cold.

The path goes across the field that has been set with potatoes-it is a way marked path and well used so it had a distinct path across the furrows or we would have to go all the way around the field which would have maybe added another mile to the walk.

Next field and the path had been cut through the crops

Next field again and the path had been cut through but the rape seed plants were almost as high as me and I couldn't see anything for about half a mile. We both had to use Vic's puffer before we attacked this path.

Next field was still rape seed but the path had been cut wider in this one so it was easier to get through

Windmills in the distance--there are lots planned for along our coast but so far they are at the testing stage

The ground is so dry everywhere it is amazing how anything is growing at all

Typical Wolds view

Approaching Kilham village-we have never been there before so wasn't sure what to expect

Geese and babies-they had nine altogether

Kilham village-we took a detour through here to go and see the church

Vic was laughing at me cause I had me gloves on -my hands are always cold

This was a brilliant machine that planted every thing in rows. Three lads were seated above the six wheels at the back and they were feeding the plants into hoppers as the tractor went along-no wonder they can plant such enormous amounts of stuff these days and no back ache at all.

A beautiful row of trees

A wood along the edge of the path

A picnic place at Bracey Bridge-we had our lunch here

Back on the path again after lunch

A lovely walk along the river

Marsh Marigold

This was a magical place I thought-the water twinkled

This farm looked really run down but there was some incredible buildings that would have made fantastic film sets. When we saw the machinery that they had and the amazing farm house with a tennis court and orchard, we thought that maybe they were film stars who owned it.

Next village was Harpham so we took another detour to see their historic church. There is also an historic well but that will be for another day I reckon.

Almost back to where we started-no more photographs as we realised if we didn't get a move on we would miss the bus and have to wait another hour for the next one.

Hope you enjoyed the walk. We did just over 12 miles with the walk from home to bus and the bus back home.
