Gone all Pre-Raphaelite ?

Coundmoor Valley with Cound in the distance



 Perhaps. Well, the unofficial, and glorious, first day of Spring prompted a visit to Cound and a  beautiful walk along Coundmoor Brook. The sun shone, the sky was blue, the buzzards displayed, the lambs beguiled and the Snowdrops were at their ecstatic best. I imagined       members of that Victorian brotherhood ambling along and recording, in fine detail, the natural beauty of this place. To go there on such a day is to have one's senses assaulted by a quintessentially English scene. This place is easy to find and there are several approaches from the north and east accessed by parking at Cound Church, down the road at Harnage House or further along at the The Green. If you need to refresh the spirit then go there now !
