Day 41: Stroud and Bristol, England

Today we drove to Bristol. On the way we stopped by a local tump. This tump is over 5500 years old and was built by Neolithic people as a burial place. Unlike Knowth and Newgrange it did not seem to have any carvings or art from that period carved into the rocks. It also had no barriers or visitation fees. You can just drive up, walk a bit, and crawl right inside. It had a few open chambers and two that were closed off. It was so neat. When we first arrived we saw a biplane pulling a glider up into the air. It was released and eventually soared overhead.
From there we continued our journey to Bristol. We walked over the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Then we walked a little less than a mile to viewpoint for the gorge. On the way we saw some goats that had been introduced to eat vegetation in the gulley of the gorge. After the goats clear out the unwanted vegetation the native plants should regrow. At the viewpoint the boys sent up the drone. We are pretty sure we saw a peregrine falcon and a kestrel while we were there.
On the way home we stopped by Hawkwood Farm again so my cousin could pick up their CSA farm share. We picked a bouquet of flowers, which comes as part of the share. We then headed to a fish and chip shop in Stroud. The servings were the largest I have ever seen at a restaurant. We had vegan fish and chips and fried pickles.
Once we got home we played Articulate! and Farkle. Another great day. Tomorrow is our last full day. Then we have to get up super early the next day to fly home!
