Frocester Hill

(Click on photos to enlarge)


Above is the 16th Century gatehouse and courthouse at Frocester Court.



On the way homewards from Badminton, Jude and I stopped at Frocester Hill (one of her favourite haunts from childhood, as she lived at the bottom of it). Last year we had a wonderful milky heat-haze which made for fabulous photos. This year it was clear, so I have sharper views.



Looking across the River Severn towards Wales.




Down the Severn a bit to the South.



The remains of a Cotwold-Severn style chambered burial chamber. This one is Nympsfield.



Cowslips as they should be seen., growing wild.

Frocester Tithe Barn. This dates from the late 13th century, though the roof timbers date from 1525.
