Day 10, Wednesday, May 6: King’s Stanley to Coaley

Today was an extremely short walk. We only had to do 3 miles. We had left our B&B, walked, and arrived at the new destination by noon. This allowed us to mostly rest and read for the afternoon. The nap was a welcome break from our daily routine so far.



We did see the Nympsfield Long Barrow. These were built around 2800BC and were used for burials. The remains of 13 people along with flint arrowheads and some pottery were found when the site was first excavated in the 19th Century.


We got another vast view from the Coaley View Peak. We saw more of our new favorite cows just off the side of the view point.




After our naps we walked about a half-mile into the center of Coaley to the Fox and Hound Pub. We were the only guests there for an early dinner. We had a great meal of Scottish salmon and vegetables. The desert was a fantastic chocolate sponge cake covered in chocolate. A lovely couple from Romania runs the pub. We had a great conversation with them after dinner. The wife, who’s English was limited, said she really liked Kathy’s accent.
