    End of day 14 day in Kington

    June 11, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Sunday today so day off in Kington. Attended morning service in St.Mary the virgin CofE church then walked back up towards Hergest Ridge to spend the day in Hergest Croft Gardens. It rained a little mid afternoon when I was in tea rooms. Fabulous gardens, particularly the Azaleas and Rhododendrons.

    Ended the day eating and drinking in Ye Old Tavern. Trevor was there again and introduced me to more locals including the ones I photographed from the wheel barrow race yesterday.
