Bignor Morning Walk 29th May 2019


Mary and Barbara, with some help from Peter, led a very interesting walk from Sutton chuch. This whole area is full of very nice old houses - the area was also very popular in the third century AD with the Romans  building a huge villa here, complete with some of the best mosiacs found in Britain. Our walk was across fields from Sutton church, passing through Sutton and Bignor as well as skirting the site of the Bignor Roman Villa. The weather held up for most of the morning but after walking through Bignor Park, at midday we had run out of luck and umbrellas were needed until we returned to our start point. We stopped for lunch in The Badger at  Coultershaw Bridge for excellent food and a chance to view some interesting artwork. The walk was a little under 4 miles.
