ABC Towns and Villages

[All uphill]

Stupidity today. All set for "U" and missed T, because I live in Taunton and therefore it's not worth thinking about.

I will pop out and photo a T tomorrow.

Just because I could I did two "U"s

Upottery

And Uffculme

44 hilly and lovely miles with a great cycling companion.

Here's my "T"

Trull.

 

[Spinney]

Out today riding to churches for the church pic thread I stopped to take this pic for this thread. My input here will probably be intermittent and when I do post will very likely replicate some of @Spinney's photos as it seems we live in the same neck of the woods, indeed a pic of my home village sign has already been posted by her/him.

Anyway here's a pic of a sign for Ashleworth taken on today's ride.

Spinney is a 'she' ! I'm a bit far south to get to places like Ashleorth on a normal day ride (Charfield, near J14 on the M5).

Here's my S and T...

Alveston, Berkeley, Cam, Dursley, Eastington, Frocester, Gossington Bridge, Ham, Iron Acton, [J skipped], Kingswood, Little Badminton, Malmesbury, Newport, Oldbury-on-Severn, Purton, Quedgeley, Rockhampton, Stinchcombe, Thornbury.

I'm a bit north of you then, I live in Eastington although I'm in Gloucester at the moment. I wondered if you lived in Wotton going by your location under your avatar and seeing where you have visited on your rides.
I see you did Berkeley for B, I shall have to think of somewhere different when I go for it.

I thought what a lovely name Stinchcombe is. I looked it up and was delighted to find that it is also near the equally splendidly named North Nibley.

There's an even more splendidly named Itchington nearby (and I could never find it again, but I'm sure I saw a house named 'Little Scratching' in the general area).

Eastington was the nearest E I could find. Quedgeley should be easy for you...

"There's an even more splendidly named Itchington nearby"

We've got a Long Itchington and a Bishop's Itchington in Warwickshire. Probably named after the River Itchen, rather than something more interesting

Good work with J!

I'm working up to it slowly...

110 miles across Devon. Hmmm, might be a while yet.

The nearest Gloucestershire one to me is a 230 mile round trip! I have a couple of potentials in Leicestershire at a mere 70 ish miles

Quedgeley is only about 75 miles from Rugby Your Leicestershire potentials sound a better bet though.
