View North-west from Bredon Hill In this view the lake towards the left at SO 938 419 is just beyond the River Avon, which has a line of trees along it. Great Comberton (at SO 955 422) is on the far right. Fields on the right beyond Comberton are covered in fabric - this makes the view different from the way it would have appeared fifty years ago, and there are probably more bright yellow fields of rape now. The view is from the crest of Bredon Hill above a scarp.

Adam and Eve graffiti in stones, Bredon Hill The stones in this hollow have been moved around for many years to spell out the names of visitors. It appears that Adam and Eve have rightly considered this to be their Garden of Eden.
