Sun is out and it's a perfect day to be outside adventuring so we loaded up and headed out into the Warwickshire countryside to the picturesque Burton Dassett hills.
Not only do the hills boast some incredible views across the midlands including on a good day being able to see landmarks such as Warwick castle and the Malvern hills, it has a rich history dating back to Saxon times
A saxon graveyard was discovered made up 35 skeletons of what is believed to of been from a battle. This theory came around because most of the skeletons had fairly gruesome injuries, creepy.
The beacon which sits on top of one of the hills is an unknown structure some believe it was a medieval lookout, whilst others say it was a windmill
If you look closely you can see the outline of a doorway which was once on the structure there are even two windows above, what a view they'd of had
We always take our trusty binoculars with us we managed to spot Warwick castle this time very exciting
Burton dassett church is a beautiful church set amongst the hills it was built in the 12th century and is a grade 1 listed building
Inside the church you can still see the original paintings on the walls
Just outside of the church is a holy well it is still filled with water today
The walk to the church is charming enough for an adventure in itself
After exploring the wood it was time for a sit down and of course a good old cup of warm tea before heading off to explore some more
After a cold day exploring the hills we climbed back into our warm car and headed onto the open road planning our next adventure on the way, we hope you have a good week and enjoy your adventures.
