The glorious weather has continued throughout the month of May and really gets me itching to take the drone up over the town.
I think the town looks great with the bunting out on the high street and just look at that blue/green summer backdrop. Marvellous!

In late summer 2016, I enjoyed a 2.5-mile circular walk from the historic Kinwarton Dovecote, taking a clockwise route towards Alcester.
My walk began at the Dovecote, a fascinating example of a medieval dovecote. From there, I headed towards the River Alne, and following it towards the picturesque Hoo Mill. Reaching Hoo Mill, I crossed the footbridge and continued towards the Stratford Road.
As I approached Alcester, the Centenary Field came into view with St Nicholas providing a nice backdrop. Walking through the high street I managed to stop and take a few pictures. One of which you will see on this page – although the scaffolding did ruin it slightly.
I had never really stepped foot inside the church other than for a ceremony. So it was nice to explore a little – there are many things of interest in here – with the obvious one being the tomb of Sir Fulke Greville.
While the 2.5-mile route is easily manageable, it does include a short section across fields, so wearing appropriate footwear is advisable. The majority of the walk, however, follows well-maintained paths, making it a relatively easy and accessible ramble for most. This walk provides a lovely blend of history, natural beauty, and town charm, offering a wonderful glimpse into the heart of Warwickshire.
Date of walk: 29th of August 2016
From the summer bunting to the Christmas lights – Alcester always makes an effort with its High Street. Here are a few photo’s I took while walking around the town at night over the Christmas period – unfortunately the conditions were not right for the drone to fly up, maybe next year!
