8.6 miles from Chickerell 15.4.15 (or the missing loop!)
Subtitled "The walk of many styles" by some, we went 8.6 miles in glorious warm spring sunshine under cloudless skies, and afterwards we had a winding down drink in the Lugger Inn where we were treated to some ballet exercises by a member of the company (No! It wasn't Mike O!).
The route actually walked going clockwise.
It transpired that John accidentally missed out a mythical 3 mile loop which would have increased the distance to more than 11 miles. There was a lot of 'micky taking' afterwards

For lunch we sat in a field facing this house - undoubtedly the home of some rich plutocrat
The Spa House at Nottington
The Spa House here has been carefully preserved, unlike its neighbouring one at Radipole. The octagonal house was designed by Robert Vining and built circa 1830 for its patrons to partake of the sulphuric waters that were said to be so beneficial to the health.
