A walk around Cotwall End Valley
One of my favourite things is to get my binoculars, put my boots on and go for a walk around the valley in which we live.
I spend a lot of time nature-watching and, as it’s my local patch, I’m getting to know it really well.
It’s an extensive area and you certainly can’t cover it all in one go, which is great because you always have something different to have a go at.
On this occasion, I followed the brook at the centre of the valley to the farm at the top, walked the meadows up to Moden Hill and then back home via the lane.
I do keep a specific nature diary based on Cotwall End Valley and the latest walk is captured via the video below.
