Dovers Hill, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England

This is on the way to Dover's Hill, near the start of the Cotswold Way, looking back to Chipping Campden along the Cotswold Way footpath.

Red Campion may be a fairly common plant but it certainly is a pretty one. There were a number of places where we saw this growing on the side of the Cotswold Way on Dovers Hill.

This was our first glimpse of the scarp slope that runs all the way from here to Bath with the Cotswold Way along the top. Not bad eh? This view was certainly worth the walk.
The bright yellow patches are fields of Oil Seed Rape and the trees displaying white blossom are Hawthorn.

There were, of course, the inevitable sheep on Dover's Hill and this lamb looked at us with some curiosity and apprehension.

Here we are at the very top of Dovers Hill. Well, Ok, it's only 750 feet but what a view. It wasn't at all crowded when we were there but I imagine it could become so on a warm day at the height of the season.
You can cheat as there is a car park a few hundred yards behind the camera but we preferred to walk.

We were well on the way down Dovers Hill when this picture of part of Chipping Campden was taken. The town centre is out of the picture to the left and is completely obscured by trees on the high ground - not even the church tower is visible.
