We don't have any ancient paths here. Most woodland paths appear in cottage country as a quick route from a cottage to the lake. All of them are relatively recent and with no interesting history, but it is still great to feel the springiness of the earth under your feet as you walk along them.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-57212337010147868742015-08-18T15:43:12.948+01:002015-08-18T15:43:12.948+01:00Just came back over to say thank you for the lovel...Just came back over to say thank you for the lovely comments! - TashaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335219443113802041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-33960784526646836072015-08-18T12:32:13.253+01:002015-08-18T12:32:13.253+01:00Wonderful photos!

I live in an area where a hundred years ago there wasn't anything apart from woods and bears. It's beautiful in its own way, but one so enjoys seeing houses and gardens and fields that people have tended for centuries.Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-63003602566050424752015-08-18T07:25:36.462+01:002015-08-18T07:25:36.462+01:00What a lovely, leafy lane!What a lovely, leafy lane!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-36779014287527675842015-08-17T13:34:00.573+01:002015-08-17T13:34:00.573+01:00I'm another one who really likes that first ph...I'm another one who really likes that first photo!

Whenever I'm on ancient sites or walking I start thinking of how lucky we are to have lightweight warm clothing and boots plus all the amenities of modern life - there is no comparison is there?A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-67332182721870976232015-08-16T19:45:31.110+01:002015-08-16T19:45:31.110+01:00A great post and lovely photos.

There are many ancient paths over the moors round here that were used by jaggers and pedlars in past centuries - routes that often claimed lives in harsh winter weather. Your path looks a much gentler and friendlier place.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
