We only had a 30 minute journey to reach our new site. This was Bush Farm CL at West Knoyle. We were pitched in a small woodland clearing overlooking fields containing Wapiti (Elk) and Bison and surrounded by bluebells. We had a trip round the farm in the afternoon, (they also had rheas, prairie dogs and raccoons), and bought some Bison steak for dinner! We slept to the sounds of Eagle owls (on the farm) being replied to by Barn Owls.
On Tuesday we went to Stourhead (NT). We walked across the Estate and out onto agricultural land, we followed footpaths and green lanes and headed towards White Sheet Hill, an ironage hill fort. It was lovely and warm -even on the hill.
As we walked around the escarpment we noticed that the grass was covered in black caterpillars. We then headed back towards Stourhead passing a memorial to some airmen who crashed on the hill during the war (about 5 miles) We then walked around Stourhead Gardens which were lovely as the Rhododendrons were in flower.
