Spotted these lovely lambs when out on my walk. I was very conscious of the wired fence with tufts of wool that was keeping them in and keeping them safe.
The rain kept away for a change ..trudging over soggy moorland in search of a lone tree! Didn't find one but still good fun :-)
There are two enclosures fenced with stones. The smaller one for the horses in the main roundup, and for the sheep found in the second and third roundups
This is one of the sheltered spots in Willow's enclosure. I love the butterfly tree, the secret to keep it flowering is clipping off the browned flower heads.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Bredwardine
According to the information board next to this site there was a palisaded enclosure here by the Norman Conquest in 1066. This site was built next to an existing settlement to the north, controlling an important crossing of the River Wye. According to the Doomsday Book of 1086, this land was held by Alfred of Marlborough, 100 years later it seems the land was passed to the Baskerville family, who held Bredwardine until the late 14th century when it passed to the Vaughan family.
The Vaughan’s seemed to have gained a neglected site, as in 1374 the castle was described as being abandoned and in a ruinous state, it appears it was now being used as a farmstead.
The Vaughan’s built a new castle on a site closer to church, this is probably why Bredwardine has two castle sites.
A short walk from here down a slight incline is the fish pond which features in the previous upload. It appears that in the 12th century the Baskervilles had another fish pond, a garden, vineyard and orchard.
As you can see there is nothing left to indicate the existence of a castle, but the sheep seem to be making the most if the shade under the tree.
Thank you for your visit and your comment, they are greatly appreciated.
After I had spent some time at Mogshade Pond, I headed down through Bolderwood to find some areas that might still be foggy.
Thankfully at Vinney Ridge, next to the A35, the area was still quite foggy and the sun hadn't yet risen above the trees.
