Tetbury, Cotswolds AONB added to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South West by clinkadink on 16/12/2022

Parking/TOAL: 51.635951, -2.161379

The settlement has a history stretching back at least 1300 years, to the time of an ancient hill fort, from the early middle ages.

The first records of Tetbury began in AD681, when King Ethelred of Mercia issued a charter granting land near “Tette’s Minster” to the Abbot and Monks of Malmesbury.

The centre of Tetbury has remained largely unchanged since the 16th and 17th centuries when the town was at the height of prosperity as a major wool town. Most of the buildings that survive in the main street were there during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I but it can be difficult to establish the age because of the 18th and 19th century fronts.

It flourished as a centre for the wool trade (as did many parts of the Cotswolds), and has many surviving examples of buildings from throughout 100s of years of history.

Although wool is no longer the same highly prized commodity that it once was, Tetbury continues to thrive. The town centre features somewhere in the region of 25 antique shops and Tetbury is well known for its wide array of independent establishments.

It’s the second largest town in the Cotswolds, the largest being the aforementioned Cirencester.

Secret Beach at Hilton of Delnies, Nairn Rural (By cduncan)

Big wide beach extending about 5 miles to Whiteness Point with views across the Moray Firth. Accessed down a farm road off the B902. There is parking for a few cars at the end of the track. The area is covered by an SSSI. This relates mainly to risks of erosion and invasive species, as well as two non-breeding birds.
This can be a busy spot in summer months but there is plenty of space on the beach and in the lagoon area behind to avoid people.

The site of a horse leap over the Findhorn River, to escape being captured, and a beautiful gorge with small waterfalls...

Walk is reasonable and short, but steep in places, and the climb down takes some care... Lots of trees to watch out for, and I would contact Logie Steading for permission as it is on their estate...
