I have reflected on this section of the walk on many occasions--basically it is a special place---my little Eden--a place of childhood, of laughter , playing in the streams, climbing the combes, picnics, peace.....Holford and its combes --many memories here  -----Magical, mystical, special ----More to follow as I progress towards Hodders Combe and Holford Green for a well earned picnic...The streams are quieter since my last visit in January 2020 when the  water levels were high and the streams were very noisy and fast moving.Today I could cross with ease over the  stones---no hunting for a good place  to cross--a gentle trickle can be heard as the water passes beneath the over-hanging mosses and ferns emerging in the sunlight before heading on down thru Holford and eventually out to Sea near Kilve and other places...More to follow soon folks
