Starting point: #What3Words ///dazzling.workflow.punchy
Today we walk the last section of my trip round Thornton Reservoir and I’m finishing with a walk through Thornton Village on my way back to the car park.
On our way we see lots of waterbirds nesting and with young families close to the weir at the west tip of the reservoir.
We then walk the busier side of the reservoir that is below the village, before taking the steep climb up through the church yard to the village and see the stunning views the residents get to enjoy.
As I filmed through the churchyard, I was very kindly invited into Thornton’s St Peter’s Church to see the Bellringers in action.
This small but beautiful church is a bit of a mystery as to it’s construction, although there are references to it from 1220 , it was not mentioned in the doomsday book.
We finish our walk through this small linear historic village, back towards the carpark.
Thornton is known to be over a thousand years old and the settlement was built on the ridge between two streams. Its name is believed to come from the Saxon word ‘tun’ for landed property in a thorny area.
Most of the properties in the area are now from the 18th -19th century onwards, the older farming building have mainly been replaced over time as the village grew.
Filmed at the end of May, it was a grey start but by the time we reach the village the sun has started to shine.

Hi CMW. Looks like a fantastic walk around the reservoir. I'd love to have a shot at bell ring, however, I am tone death so I would probably frighten everyone away. Great video as always.
Hi Brian & Sah
😂 the bell ringing did look a bit complicated, I don't think I'd be to clever at it either 😁
Pleased you found the reservoir area interesting, it was a lovely area to walk around much bigger then I thought.
Have a lovely week 😊 hello to Noah👋, CMW 🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️
Loved this mouse,sorry for just getting to this,was recovering from london. when i lived in blackawton they wanted me to ring the bells with them,its something i wish i had done now. loved to put my kayak there. stay safe debs...
Hi Debs 👋 hope you had a great town, just going to check out your Camden video. thanks for watching, it's a shame you never tried the bell ringing out. Keep well, have a great weekend CMW 🚶🚶🚶
