6. Wookey Hole Caves Wookey Hole
Wookey Hole Caves are a series of limestone caverns, a show cave and tourist attraction in the village of Wookey Hole on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills near Wells in Somerset, England. The River Axe flows through the cave. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for both biological and geological reasons. Wookey Hole cave is a solutional cave, one that is formed by a process of weathering in which the natural acid in groundwater dissolves the rocks. Some water originates as rain that flows into streams on impervious rocks on the plateau before sinking at the limestone boundary into cave systems such as Swildon's Hole, Eastwater Cavern and St Cuthbert's Swallet; the rest is rain that percolates directly through the limestone. The temperature in the caves is a constant 11 °C . Th...

Henley, Buckland Newton, Dorset New Year Walk

Check out the route of this walk on my website link below. You to could follow in our footsteps!

I'm going to have a nice winter walk now then, up into the hills
And ther's an Ash tree, no leaves on it because it is Winter.
And Ivy all over the trunk which the wildlife will be enjoying.
So I'm going to go on my way
Catch up with you in a bit!
Well we're looking towards the west and the setting Sun ish
And that's the small hamlet of Henley in Dorsetshire
And a very idilic place to live
You can see which way the prevailing wind is here carn't you!
Well that way and comming over here, and we
don't half get some winds up here
This is a nice old Holly tree which
has been left by the hedge cutters
Of course it's an evergreen and its got ivy growing up through it.
And thats good for wildlife, there will be Holly Blue
caterpillars both on the Ivy and the Holly
I carn't see any berries, I think what happens in the wild is the berries
tend to come in the Autumn and by January they are all gone
eaten by the Thrushes and Blackbirds, they deserve it don't they!
Oh, it's not very deep!
Well that didn't take long did it!
Now on my tree identification course, this is a Willow Tree!
probably grown up from a fence post or something
Nice to see them about though!
Here's a nice bit of winter scenery, one of those old Cow Parsley
plants, and if you notice in paintings they will quite often have:
these in the foreground and then a scene in the distance.
And it will just give a sense of perspective and proportion.
There we go I'm told the light along the
top of that hedge is very picturesque!
Here we have the magnificent English Countryside.
The majestic oak, and this is on our way home.
And this is a very old path, takes you down to Buckland Newton.
And I found an old halfpenny down here once.
An old Victorian halfpenny, you wonder where it came from, who lost it?
What was he going to buy? Did he get into trouble?
I wasn't much good to me, but I've got it knocking around somewhere!
look at those clouds! Lovely isn't it!
