We're a very flat country, Crook Peak is only 191m high, and accessible for walks. I might try that one day, but I hear it's more rugged, hence adding to it's uniqueness and valuable landscape. On my return route during this walk, my highest point was only 162m, a far cry from your RLT!!
I'm not sure about the age of those houses , a few hundred years is not unusual in the UK and is not considered
very old. I know the village church, which we didn't visit, dates back to the 13th century and there are records of settlement in the Loxton village since Roman times. All sounds pretty old, right? 😄
I've had my hiking boots very many years, they're certainly very durable even having been in storage for 3 years, luckily the soles haven't started to crack. They are my good walking buddy
191 m. Well, that is interesting to know, as it looks a bit higher, but ... I guess it is all relative maybe!? It does look like you might enjoy the view from up there, so maybe that will be a part of your walk one day. It sure is pretty countryside.
Wow. I decided to look this little town up on Google maps. I can see it is by the sea there, i.e. near the bay at the mouth of the River Severn? I am no expert, but it looks like that might be an appealing place to which some of the earliest visits might be made vs. farther inland.
We'll all enjoy future stories of your being "out and about," I'm sure. Until then, take care! 👋
