Day 8 - Wednesday 26th August 2015
A pleasant walk out of Wotton-under-Edge by a little stream was followed by a very steep climb through trees and up a road until I reached a track along the
escarpment where I had a glimpse of the towers of the Severn Bridge Crossings. A very deep sunken lane followed but
much of the day’s walk was on pleasant tracks, fields and roads. After lunch at Lower Kilcott, there was another climb
and then an open walk to the Somerset Monument. General Lord Robert Somerset fought at Waterloo. By Horton Hall
there was a new tower building which had been built for owls to nest. The double ditch and ramparts of Sodbury Camp,
another Iron Age Hill Fort followed and then it was down to meet Edwin at Old Sodbury Church.
