You never disappoint! I’m fascinated with the references to John Bunyan (British Lit teacher, rtd, here!) and especially the fact that once a crowd of a thousand people gathered there to hear him preach. Personally I would prefer a sermon in a bluebell patch and can’t believe he was jailed for 12 years for his audacity.

I'd love these woods to myself! Amazing area - you've given us some wonderful views and photos - let alone letting the imagination roam. I hate to say it - but I'd no idea Bunyan spent time in Bedford jail ... and was able to start to write 'his Progress' there ...
