A view from my walking boots

10 miles on foot today and again, no map just instinct. Picture taken on Warden and Galley Hills, which is accessible on foot from my home. It's so easy to overlook and therefore not appreciate what is on your doorstep. A bit about the place:

 "Drays ditches" run along the base of Warden Hill which were originally dug in the Bronze Age as boundaries to seperate tribal groups. However, later on in the Iron Age these were built up as a way to control the traffic along the Icknield Way.

Near the top of Galley Hill two Bronze Age barrows can be found. These were excavated in the 1960s and the remains of 14 burials were found in the largest barrow. In the Middle Ages a gallows was built on top of one of the barrows to be used for public executions.
