Another pleasant ‘walking companion’, drawing on a wealth of local knowledge to arouse interest in so many things in the the local landscape which are so easy simply to walk past in ignorance. A thread of history links much of what we experience in this landscape yet attention is also drawn to the beauty of both the landscape and of nature and the bonus that knowledge gives us as we walk in such places.
