23. Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, May 2019
This was a fantastic 10 mile clockwise walk from Winchcombe in the Cotswolds. It was an easy to follow route as for the most part it followed well marked footpaths, including the Cotswold Way, the Winchcombe Way and the Wardens Way. We passed a couple of places of historical interest, Hailes Abbey and Sudeley Castle. Winchcombe is a very popular town with walkers and it is easy to see why. This was a lovely walk, although Sam felt that at times we were walking along too many enclosed lanes obscuring the views! To follow this walk, you will need OS Explorer OL45.

Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Its population according to the 2011 census was 4,538. The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on a hilltop above Winchcombe, was constructed from about 3000 BC. Later, during Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a chief city of Mercia favoured by Coenwulf; the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town.
During the Anarchy of the 12th century, a motte-and-bailey castle was erected in the early 1140s by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford for the Empress Matilda, although the exact site of this is unknown;. It has been suggested however, that it was to the south of St Peter's Church. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having been outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.
In Winchcombe and the immediate vicinity can be found Sudeley Castle and the remains of Hailes Abbey, which was one of the main centres of pilgrimages in Britain due to a phial possessed by the monks said to contain the Blood of Christ. There is nothing left of the now-vanished Winchcombe Abbey. St Peter's Church in the centre of the town is noted for its grotesques. The Michelin star restaurant 5 North Street is in Winchcombe.
Winchcombe sits on six long-distance footpaths: The Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wychavon Way, St Kenelm's Trail, St Kenelm's Way, the Warden's Way and the Windrush Way. Winchcombe became a member of the Walkers are Welcome network of towns in July 2009 and now holds a walking festival every May.
Winchcombe was once served by a railway line, a relative latecomer in British railway history, which was opened in 1906 by the Great Western Railway. The line ran from Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham and was part of a main line from Birmingham to the South West and South Wales. Winchcombe railway station and most others on the section closed in March 1960. Through passenger services continued on this line until March 1968, and goods until 1976 when a derailment at Winchcombe damaged the line. It was decided not to bring the section back into use and by the early 1980s it had been dismantled. The stretch between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse, including Winchcombe, has since been reconstructed and reopened as a heritage railway called the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. A new railway station has been erected at Winchcombe, on its original site, the building being the former station at Monmouth ((Troy) railway station). Nearby is the 693 yard (634 m) Greet Tunnel, the second longest on any preserved line in Britain.

Hailes Church Cotswold Churches
Hailes church was once the spiritual companion to a Norman castle, now vanished. It therefore predates the ruined Cistercian Hailes abbey founded in 1246, which lies across the road. When the people of Hailes were displaced to provide the solitude this order demanded it became a 'capella ante portas' for visitors to the monastery. Set a the foot of the Cotswold escarpment a few miles from Winchcombe this area is steeped in history.

Hayles Abbey Halt - 5th June 2017
As noted in our news pages the modern GWR - the Gloucester Warwickshire Railway - opened a new Halt at Hayles Abbey to the public on Tuesday 6th June 2017 to serve visitors to the nearby Hailes Abbey (note the different spelling!). There had been a previous Halt here in steam days but it was closed and raised to the ground in 1960, this new Halt being formally opened on Monday 5th June 2017. Happily, this coincided with a short visit to the Railway by Collett Auto-Tank no. 1450 and Auto trailer Chaffinch and the pair is seen on a public working on Saturday 10th June, the penultimate day of its stay on the line.

Last video of our trip aboard 37215.
The video begins at the head shunts at Hunting Butts in the confines of Cheltenham Racecourse Station, before the 37, with the Class 20 attached behind, run round the rake of coaches to the signal check at the top of the station, before the 20 hauls the 37 back and onto the rake.
The next clip sees the train approaching the pedestrian crossing at Bishops Cleeve, before both locos power up and we get back to line speed heading towards Gotherington.
Next is just after departure from Gotherington, where both locos coast up towards Greet Tunnel , before slowing for a signal check and then powering up upon entrance to the tunnel.
Upon exiting the tunnel, we zoom round and see the guys in the 20 behind us as we enter the confines of Winchcombe Station.
The final clip is just as we leave Chicken Curve after departure from Winchcombe, where again both locos power up back to line speed as we approach Hailes Abbey where the video ends.
