Out and about Walking in Great Washbourne
So, for today's walk we are in the village of Great Washbourne on a weekday around lunchtime. The village is located about 6 miles east of Tewkesbury and about 6 miles west of Evesham in the county of Gloucestershire and falls under the district of Tewkesbury. Great Washbourne was once its own civil parish in its own right (from 1866) but as of 1935 it then came under the civil parish of Dumbleton. According to the 1931 census the village had a population of 65 people. The church in the village is the Church of St Mary, which dates back as far as the twelfth century.
Whilst on the walk there was scaffold being erected on one of the houses, you will notice an occasional dip in sound this is where I muted the louder & higher pitched sounds of the scaffolding guns being used (the joys of weekday walking but the maintenance work has to be done right?!). Funny thing was they packed up for the day shortly after finishing the walk!
This has to be the smallest village we have visited so far but absolutely gorgeous all the same! and it was lovely to walk in the midday sunshine albeit very cold!
Thanks for watching
