Selsley to Woodchester

23rd June 2021                                                                            Map of walk

We started at the 17th century Bell Inn at Selsley and walked down the side of it, along an ancient track to North Woodchester

Passing Stanley End Farm

To The Priory at North Woodchester, where a Roman Pavement lies under the graveyard

Clothier’s House at Southfield Mill. The original house on the left was built about 1600 and the yellow wing was added about 1690
