Over the Wold: Naunton to Northleach

Broadway and the Cotswold Escarpment

Broadway, Broadway Tower and the Cotswold Escarpment are fine places to walk whatever the season.  The views are fantastic from the top of the scarp, and in winter on late afternoons the sunsets are impressive.

Ducky Devotion

Mallards on our rivers and canals form pairs in October or November and stay together throughout the winter until the female lays her eggs in April or May.  The male’s is extremely handsome here as his bottle-green head is very bright at this time of year.

Art on the Coventry Canal

Statue of James Brindley (1716-1772) at the Canal Basin in the centre of Coventry city.

James Brindley designed almost all of the early canals in England including the Coventry Canal.  The Canal Basin was once a bustling place, busy with boats at the wharves loading and unloading materials for storage in the surrounding warehouses.

The Cathedral steps, Coventry.

The new cathedral, consecrated in 1962, was built after destruction of the medieval cathedral during bombing raids in the Second World War.  The sculpture designed by Sir Jacob Epstein, depicts St. Michael overcoming the Devil.
