The Jester's Tomb

Highlight • Historical Site

This is the tomb of England's last ever Royal / court Jester. So I thought this was quite significant & I was really pleased they'd recreated the writing. You can see he was buried in 1728, which is quite a while ago, and I also think it shows just how quickly times changed from & during the 18th and 19th centuries. Overall this was a stunning churchyard, really fascinating tombs & even an information board. Highly recommend for any history fans, like me!

Whitcliff Deer Park

Highlight • Forest

The deer are a lot less timid than in the wild, they're almost like sheep in behaviour. Wonderful views to each side of the hill... either the River Severn or the Cotswold Hills.
