This area at one time was hot for mining with a railroad, there's even remnants of what looked a loading area. It's just up from Georgetown, Co.

Building the Mansion c1855-73
William LeighThe purchaser of the Woodchester Estate was William Leigh, a wealthy recent convert to Roman Catholicism. He paid £170,000 for the property in 1845. In 1815, at the age of 13, he had inherited £100,000 and the Roby Hall estate at Huyton, near Liverpool, from his father. Leigh senior was a successful merchant trading in salt, tobacco and foodstuffs in and out of the port of Liverpool. William Leigh was born in Liverpool in 1802 and educated at Eton and Brasenose College, Oxford. He settled at Little Aston Hall in Staffordshire following his marriage to Caroline Cotterell in 1828. After his reception into the Roman Church at Leamington in 1844 he moved to Gloucestershire with the aim of creating a Catholic community in the area. A zealous convert, his first action was to start building a Catholic church and monastery at South Woodchester, adjacent to the eastern end of his estate.
In January 1846 Leigh asked the pre-eminent Victorian architect A.W.N. Pugin to survey the existing Spring Park Mansion, presumably with a view to Pugin improving the house for William and his wife, son and two daughters. Pugin visited Woodchester and condemned the existing building, saying “... a more hopeless case of repairs I never saw.” He recommended starting anew, and sent Leigh an estimate of £7118 and a design for a new house. Later that year Pugin drew up plans for the church and monastery at Woodchester for Leigh, but resigned from the commission in August 1846. Leigh then turned to the Bristol based Catholic architect Charles Hansom to build the church and monastery. The former, the Church of the Annunciation, was completed in 1849 and the latter in 1853. Meanwhile, the Leighs lived in an extended gardener’s cottage on the south side of the valley towards Nympsfield, known as “The Cottage”, which remained the family home until the First World War. Leigh’s contribution to the growth of Catholicism in Victorian England was significant and Woodchester was central to this expansion.
Who doesn't love to walk down on a path like this? With those vibrant colourful maples, poured over by the golden sunshine, life just cannot be better!
Sometimes, you just need to push ahead down the path and find out where it goes.

It's warm and only frozen path in the forest reminds about real winter here in mid-Russia. The dusk comes fast, and the sinking sun casts the last light to the bushes in the background. Strange combination...
Дорожка к Москва-реке между Усово и Горки-2, вдали виднеется Петрово-Дальнинская пойма.
taken at wentworth castle in south yorkshire. a few selective curves with some dodging and burning but not a lot of editing really.
This path is the Pipiwai Trail that ends at one spectacular falls. I didn't really even get much for photos of the falls because the journey too it was the real gem in my mind.
After descending the steep path from the summit of Loughrigg Fell we have moved south toward the bridged ford close to White Moss Common and then turned through these lovely woodlands making for the weir at the southern end of Grasmere. To walk in the quiet of such pleasing beauty is a joy of moment that quite belies the parallel proximity of the busy A591, a road of such convoluted changes of direction it denies drivers all opportunity of enjoying the landscape it passes through and robs walkers and cyclists of any peace of mind. So pity those who take the road, come walk this way, let nature be your guide, as today; she proves all the pleasure that is ours...
