The bartender at The Bear had recommended a visit to the Lansdown cemetery just north of Bath. So off Peggy and I walked once again through Bath and uphill on the other side up Lansdown Road for about two miles until we reached Lansdown Cemetery. There are over 5,000 graves, the oldest of which go back to the early 1800's. There's the 120 ft Beckford Tower built in 1827. Beckford was a local resident who wished that he had built it forty feet higher, but admitted that "such as it is, it is a famous landmark for drunken farmers on their way home from market."

Then, not having planned it, we discovered a portion the Cotswald Way National Trail, 102 mile route through the Cotswold countryside that starts at Chipping Campden and ends at Bath…
