Kilburn, Byland Abbey, Ampleforth, a walk
It's Friday already and I haven't posted about what happened on Monday yet. A bit of catching up to do. This is Church B & B at Kilburn, my room was top left overlooking the cottages on the other side of the road. When I got there on Sunday evening I found a note on the front door telling me which room to go in. Carol runs it, everything was perfect, lovely room, nice and clean en suite, and a very reasonable price. Check the web site if you want to know more.
The cottage opposite the church.
After a hearty breakfast off I went with snacks and plenty to drink, it was going to be a hot day. Up a shady lane past the cows.Through a wood.....
And into the village of High Kilburn.
I followed the sign for Byland Abbey.
It's an English Heritage site, free to go in. I wrote about this on a previous trip five years ago. Additional photo's of the Abbey and Kilburn here.
I had a wander around, trying to imagine how it might have been all those years ago. It's a very big site.
I took footpaths and roads through Wass, to Ampleforth. Typical of the cottages round here.
Fantastic views. It was windy but I was glad of that, it kept me cool.
The good thing about visiting villages at this time of the year is the abundance of flowers everywhere.
Walking with a skirt on again. The wafting around my legs is more comfortable than shorts, and keeps the sun off my legs.
There is a village shop at Ampleforth so a Magnum ice cream was in order. I tried a raspberry one this time, very nice. Then it was time to turn around and head back. I chose a different route, through woods, mostly on roads, arriving back at Kilburn at 6pm. 12 miles walked. It was only because it was windy that I was able to walk that far. Another walk planned for tomorrow. It's supposed to be even hotter, have to see how it goes. Toodle pip. ilona
