Newington Bagpath clings to the side of the valley above the Little Avon River, facing across to its long redundant church and nearby castle mound. The hamlet once supported a colony of weavers and at one time there were cloth mills along the river dating originally from the time of the monks of Kingswood Abbey. This photo shows how some Cotswold buildings seem to nestle into folds of the hills, for shelter from the weather. Time photo taken 3.42 pm BST (British Summer Time).
