We took a ride up the narrow lanes above Stroud to the tiny, and exceptionally wealthy village of Edgeworth today. The old Grade II listed Edgeworth Manor, next to an old Saxon church, is a delight, and the public footpath goes right through it's gardens. The rest of the walk follows the River Frome up one side of the valley and back down the other. The hills are extremely steep, almost like cliffs in some place, so provide some excellent views. The river is also looking very healthy- I spotted quite a lot of brook trout and was rather wishing I had my fly rod with me (although, strictly speaking, that would have been poaching!).
