Another hiking day! It was a chilly, overcast March day, but we figured we could all use the exercise (especially Cooper!), so we layered up and headed to the Ouse Valley Way. This is a walking trail that follows the Great River Ouse 150 miles across the English countryside. The portion that passes through our neighboring town of Godmanchester can be accessed via the Chinese Bridge.
Once across the bridge, we enjoyed a nice view of the village from a park, while Cooper got hissed at by some more swans.
After passing some pretty houses, we had to cross over a river lock and a kissing gate to pass into Portholme Meadow. This is England's largest lowland meadow, and we're told cattle graze here in the summer months (we'll have to go back to see that for ourselves). Cooper had never been in such a large open space before, and had fun running really far away from us, and then looking back to see if we were still visible.
Looking forward to coming back here when the cows are out!
