112: St Briavels, the Hudnalls and Hewelsfield (Wye Valley and Forest of Dean 2018)

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

St Briavels seems to be one of the loveliest, most quaint villages that you could ever encounter in the whole of England, and that includes the old castle. With the special events that occur in the village, food fayres etc., it's so lovely to know that there are places like this one still in existence. The two churches that feature on this film are classic in architecture, and very old. The Wye Valley scenery is exceptional, indeed. A real treat to watch, Patrick, many thanks for this enjoyable video.

St Briavels is a great village Ffranc and I can remember staying a few times in the castle when I was a member of the YHA. Another great part of the Wye Valley. Thanks as always Ffranc for your comments and for watching 👍

Hi Patrick! Everyone "believes" in something whether one chooses to acknowledge it or not. As I view your creative videos depicting the beauty, diversity, and intricacies of nature, I see the Creator Designer and His Beauty! My mind and Spirit are filled with wonder and thankfulness. I choose because I am free. I am not a puppet of nature, because I am not made only of physical matter! I have a Spirit, and I now have God's Loving Spirit in me. Man was created in God's Spiritual image! We fell away and have caused many problems for ourselves. Even the best of us fall into despair and inequity at times....but God Loves us and is always calling us to Himself in a one-of- a- kind personal way back into His Unending, Unconditional, immeasurable Love! Your eye for creative film making and your musical talent and skill are first from Him and developed by you! May your mind, heart, and Spirit be opened to giving Loving Father another look or research! Those beautiful cathedrals they give glory to God in their majestic architecture! God Bless You Patrick to Know His Love For You in Christ Jesus!

I must have felt your thoughts Frank and Lee, so here was my film. Knew you'd like the churches, especially Hewelsfield where the silence is so wonderful you can hear a pin drop. Hope to be able to share another film again before too long. All the best Frank and Lee. Cheers, Patrick :)

This is a great episode Patrick and wonderful piece of filming! The views of the valley and forest are lovely, as is the music - especially the part when you enter the Hudnalls.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Martin, the music is always my favourite part of the film making, glad you liked it :)

1985? I can't even remember where I went yesterday. Haha!

[@solitaryrambler]

I remember things from years ago, but if you asked me what I did yesterday I'd have to stop to think! :)

[@fehmiabbasi4874]

Hi Patrick very nice video.Its beautiful views are like my village in Rawlakot. I'm in love with ancient structures like in Peru

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Fehmi, St Briavels is certainly very beautiful, so sounds like your village is lovely too. Thanks for watching :)

[@pete7179]

Great to see you back Patrick,really enjoyed that,as I have every one of the previous 111. Loved the castle,and I agree completely about the churches,like you I'm not religious but always seek out the village church,(and pub),some beautiful old buildings and stained glass,and stories,for a small village it was nice to see a defibrillator at the gate too. Hope you are able to get out this year and do some more walks,thanks for sharing,keep well and stay safe Pete.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Pete, still a lot to catch up on but glad to have finally got this one completed. It was indeed nice to find a defibrillator at Hewelsfield church gate, they pop up all over the place now. Thanks again for watching Pete and for commenting. Cheers, Patrick :)

On a serious note have you been up to Giddy Edge path, matlock bath ? It looks terrifying

[@solitaryrambler]

Yes I've walked Giddy Edge several times, close to where I live :)
