Bursledon

Yesterday G and I decided our walk was going to be around a little village close to us named http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bursledon. It was used as a location quite a lot during the filming of the BBC series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howards'_Way

I have a leaftlet, the children just love it when I say that!, giving details of various walks around the area and using this we explored part of the area and saw some great sights.



I would just love it if you followed this sign which was at the end of a long lane and found a picturesque cottage with 24 windows!

Daffodils on the rise, a sure sign of Spring.

The wildlife ranged from handsome sheep

to scary stone gargoyle lions

the very rare (for this weekend anyway) lesser spotted smiling T

and a deer.
This was definitely the highlight of our walk.



There is a working windmill in the area too and a country park so we plan a return visit in the summer complete with picnic. Now where did I put that leaflet for safe keeping?

    Is it me or are the daffs coming up much earlier this year?
    Nice to see a red telephone box..they're getting harder to find nowadays. Sounds like that village would be a great place for a Summers day out. :0)

    I loved Howard's Way - used to watch it with my Mum. She's recently bought the DVDs of all the series and is having a real trip down memory lane watching them all again.

    My kids always groaned when I produced leaflets too, but if I handed the map/footpath directions over to them, they loved it - even when we got lost, a lot! Great blog by the way.
