Moving toward Tyndale Monument
I was eagerly looking forward to arriving at this magnificent architecture of historic significance.
121 steps challenge
Climbing 121 steps with the smile on my face was not an easy task to complete.
In the middle of the journey, I had a slight sensation of claustrophobia, but it disappeared rapidly when I visualised the stunning view at the top of the tower.
Woodland path
I definitely find the woodland soothing.
Tyndale Monument
What a lovely Mothering Sunday hike!
On this cherished day, as the UK honours all mothers, I found no finer celebration than to embark on a unique hike, aiming to cover a distance of 11 miles.
The weather was mild and just right for an enchanted adventure.
We started from the history market town of Dursley, treading along the western edge of the Cotswold escarpment of Stinchcombe hill.
I discovered the Stinchcombe Hill Golf Club and was mesmerized by its spectacular surrounding. The breath-taking views from the Malvern’s to the north, the Severn Vale to the west and Bath to the South were satisfying.
Following the Cotswold way, we passed through North Nibley and stopped by the iconic Tyndale Monument where we had the lunch break.
The Monument was dedicated to the martyr William Tyndale who was the first person to translate the bible into English.
It was very challenging to climb the spiral staircase with 121 steps which leads to the top of the tower but rewarding and worthy. From the summit, I could enjoy the views across the Severn estuary.
Our return journey was adorned with the enchantment of woodlands and the creative musings of the Dursley Sculpture Trail.
It was a deeply fulfilling experience.
