Wraysbury Walk

We didn't spend our entire winter break cooped up in the house, eating and drinking too much. We got out almost daily for good long walks and playing with the doggies. We had about 3 days where it warmed up a few degrees, and on one of them we took off to Wraysbury. This is a town about 15 minutes from home on the train.

You can find the map of the walk here

As it was a little warmer, everything was very muddy, and I think we both had mud up to our knees!. But the walk was along several waterways full of birds and other wildlife, plus some historical markers. We even passed Runnymede, where the Magna Carta was signed (the English still don't have a constitution, but the Magna Carta is the closest thing they have).

At the end of the walk was a lovely pub where we stopped for s Shepherd's pie and pint before riding the train back to Richmond. It was a great day!
