Gilsland Bits & Pieces

September 12, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Gilsland is a small village of around 400 souls, situated uncomfortably astride the Northumberland / Cumbria border – which is here defined by the River Irthing and its tributary the Poltross Burn.

Gilsland contains many interesting and historic buildings and other sites, but as most fail to fall into officially approved “heritage” periods or myths they are rarely mentioned.

The area is also fascinating geologically as fossiliferous, coal-bearing Lower Carboniferous limestones, sandstones and shales outcrop in river gorges and crags.

Goudhurst is built on the slope of an eccentric hill in Kent on the Weald.

Approaching it from the south you see a collection of red roofs one above another, picturesque and promising. At the summit of the hill you come to the church, ancient, large and interesting. The landscape is richly timbered. There are woods on all sides.
