From the Star to the Cock Public House 

Walk past two of our ponds in the village, which will have at least some ducks and coots swimming around.

Late spring is always good to see the ducklings, their mother never teaches them the green cross code, locals travel past all the ponds very slowly at this time of year.

The ponds were used by the farmers and tradesmen especially the wheelwright who would soak the wood in the ponds to make it pliable. 

You arrive at the only shop in the village sadly the post office has recently been shut.  The shop is run by the villagers as a cooperative and the staff are volunteers. It sells groceries, receives bread from a nearby bakery and sells local books and postcards 

Now continue walking and you will return to the pub.

I hope you have enjoyed this walk.
