I was raised by my grandparents and my grandfather, Herbert Fletcher (1889-1960), was a signalman on shifts at Hayfield for 40 years until compulsorily retired in 1954. I have many happy childhood memories of taking his meals down to "the box" and watching the goods train shunting in the yard then sitting with him next to the little coal-fired stove trying to read in the gas-light (no electricity). He took me for walks down the lineside to Wood's Plantation where the station master at Hayfield kept pigs.
"The last car that parked here is still missing" -- that gave me a chuckle. Well, nobody can say they weren't warned. This is just a beautiful slice of England here. I would love to hike in country like this, where you can see for miles, and it's such a green countryside. In the Appalachians, we get views like this, but not all the time, for sure.
What an amazing transformation from what it use to be, I love it when they let nature reclaim areas and give it to the people for them to enjoy, wonderful concept. Gorgeous video Mary, you capture all things beautifully and put it all to delightful music. 🙏🏻🥰 BTW, I ordered Millies broth and it truly is delicious, thanks for the tip and percentage. 😋
Very nice. Here in New England, we had extensive use of water powered mills on many streams from the 1700s on. Most remains were washed away in the monstrous floods of 1936 and 1938. Good Luck, Rick
Mary, will you be coming back to the States to hike the Continental Divide and Appalachian Trails. I so enjoyed you thoughts and perspective, when you hiked the Pacific Crest Trail a couple of years ago.
nice place, we love the nature so much! You've collected some beautiful impressions here 👍😊. we wish you a lovely weekend! Best wishes Up'n'Down-Traveling
The Slack's Crossing sign, at 3:03, was of interest to me. My Aunt Erma married a man named Slack, and the sign is the only other mention I've seen of the name.
latern pike is epic, i first saw it from the top of kinder, definitely worth a visit, AND the latern pike inn is not to be sniffed at 😉 brill vid again mary, i hope to bump into you in the peaks 👍
Hi Mary. Brilliant video.. Really enjoyed it.. Thank you! . 😁 👍 I'm heading out on that route today.. Just one question when you've come down from lantern pike & go through the gate, do you turn left to head back towards the set valley trail or turn sharp right?
Looks like a stretch of the real road, dirt road. There are still farms from that time 🐎🐎 Pocotó Pocotó Pocotó kkkkkk And look, there's a farm where D. Pedro 1° stayed. Traiatuba Farm 👑 Os Tropeiros, mercadores XVIII, Ah! very important in history, base Ipoema MG. Hug, bye, very cool, Among the people of the Estrada Real include the English. Mina da Passagem

Hard to believe it was industrialized back in the day. That land has had a real healing.
Mary, thank you for sharing your love of nature with us. Very enjoyable.
You are so welcome Tom 😊

Thanks so much Anita - I'm so glad you like the broths 😊
i lived in hayfield for 6 years walked most off the routes around the area great place to explore thank you for filming the walk.
It was my pleasure! I hope I did it justice 😁
Nothing like a walk through a Blue Bell wood, says Spring is here😃😃. I do look for the Black Thorn flowers first, my sign that Spring is coming.

Thanks Rick!

Thanks so much Graham! 😊
I think that the National Trust should name a trail after you, since you are promoting the beauty of the nature lands.
So kind - thank you John😊

So sorry to reply so late - I was on a social media break! I hope you are not still up at the top of Lantern Pike deciding which way to go 😳
