    Thanks for taking us on a lovely tour! We loved learning about the different buildings and reading up on the information that you provided. Definitely a nice walk and very peaceful and calm. So nice to walk around the river and nature as well! The bridges are really cool too! That cottage building is most special. It was used as a hospital!? So interesting!

    Beautiful hike but if you want to go off trail you might need your waders. England seems to have a lot of nice pedestrian bridges and pathways. Do they still use telephone boxes?

    • @CarolandDerek

      Many of the boxes that haven’t been vandalised have been converted by villagers into book exchanges, some to other used, but the mobile phone as put pay to all that. Hope you and your family are keeping OK. 🌈👍🙏

    That is one very old looking tree at 2:03! Very cool to us to see the musket ball damage...makes history feel that much more alive. So why does it flood? Your song choice is nice & soothing; April loves the cello. That house at 8:57 is quintessential English!

      @@CarolandDerek The ford is only a short distance from the River Severn which was in flood during February.
      Normally that stream is fed by many tributaries along the bank behind the village of Norton.
      To best of my knowledge there are two places called Kempsey, the Worcestershire one which is a large village. The other in New South Wales, Australia, which has also been subjected to recent floods.

      You will probably find a connection between the two places as the settlers often used names from their area of origin - Enoch William Rudder named the area Kempsey because the surrounding areas reminded him of the Kempsey Valley in Worcestershire. Thanks for commenting 🙏👍😉
