He was thinking about the familiar slopes and pastures of Hanway Common.

The old Roman fort on the top was in a commanding position.

Slimmer than other members of the family, with a long tail and confusing yellow plumage, it is less extrovert than the other local drinker: the Dipper swims, wades and walks on water.

Now in his 60s, Alfred Watkins was sitting in his car studying a map and gazing across the countryside towards the ridge of Croft Ambrey. What he perceived was “like a chain of fairy lights”, a series of lines linking ancient features such as mounds, moats, hill forts, standing stones, wayside crosses and churches.

Gently climbing Green Lane from the church with separate bell tower, our first goal is ‘the pool formed for catching fish’ in the meaning of Yarpole’s medieval name.
