Hyde Water Mill
After a fulfilling dinner and a good nights sleep in Stow-on-the-Wold,
Kerry made sure that by 9:00 AM we were on our way out of town. The
start of our morning walk was along a busy road, but thankfully this
was one of the few times in our five-day walk that this was to be
the case.
Our walk took us through the Nether Swell Manor. After the Manor, we passed the Hyde Mill.
Sheep
After leaving the mill, we worked our way through a number of
fields. Before long we were walking next to fields filled with
sheep. Much of the historic wealth of the Cotswolds came from
the sheep trade. It is still an important part of the
economy.
