Our Trip to Britain in August 2023: Part 1 Bristol and Lee, Devon
This summer, we traveledin Southwest Britain during most of August. We stayed with my brother for thefirst few days and he took us on several hikes through the woods near Bristol.
His house is close tofarmland. We walked around fields of corn. One local farm keeps horses as shownin the top picture of a mare and her foal.
I love the prettywildflowers blooming in the woods and along the hedgerows. These Harebells orScottish Bluebells are among my favorite wildflowers.
In the next stage, wedrove to Devon for our niece’s wedding. The ceremony and reception were indifferent sites near Ilfracombe. I took a few pictures near the reception inthe small coastal village of Lee. The local church of St Matthew, and village houses are typical ofrural England.
The village ends at LeeBay, a cove with a stony beach overlooking the Severn Estuary.
If you take a vacationin England, make sure you visit the rural regions and admire the picturesquevillages with thatched cottages and flower gardens. You can also hike on manyfootpaths throughout the countryside.
