When I put these walks together, I’m looking for a good part of the walk to go through the pathways and lanes of a village, but also for part to be through the countryside with a bit of up and down. I aim for an hour or so – which justifies having a pudding at the pub! This book, entitled Frome Valley , contains walks in Caudle Green, Edgeworth, Sapperton and The Daneway pub which are in the valley of the River Frome - as well as Duntisbourne Abbots which is in a valley running parallel to it.

  • Summer 2018 Edit 11
    Miserden,Whiteway,The Camp Sudgrove & Wishanger Summer 2018 Butterfly Conservation is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It’s amazing to think that we have been helping to protect and enhance the UKs butterflies, moths and their habitats all this time. It started off in a very small way, as so often happens, with a few like-minded individuals keen to help the lepidoptera of this country. It has now grown to over 33,000 members countrywide and has 31 branches scattered throughout the UK. It recently held the 8th Interna- tional Symposium in Southampton earlier this month, so we are also linked with enthusiasts from all over the world. Sadly, all this effort has not led to a great increase in butterflies and moths – rather the reverse. However, a lot of this is due to loss of habitat due to agricultural changes in management, roads, houses, changes to woodland management, climatic change and probably a few things that we still don’t understand. Where effort had been made to protect some of the rarer species a turn-around has been seen in their fortunes but the fate of some of our more common butterflies is now becoming a concern. The Small Tortoiseshell, an iconic visitor to gar- dens dropped to ninth position in the Gloucestershire Big Butterfly Count last year, with the Peacock coming eighth. However, the Red Admiral had a good year and came sec- ond, following the Gatekeeper. Some of you may have visited the Butterfly Conservation Reserve – Rough Bank – which is very near to The Camp on Calf Way.
