St George and the Dragon by marianj

St George and the Dragon

To celebrate St. George's Day! This greeted us as we arrived to go on an annual 9 mile 'Cuckoo Walk' from the village of Brindle.
Cuckoo Walk? something to do with Gin?

@peterbyrne Sadly we didn't go via the distillery! But the name Brindle cuckoo refers to babies born in Brindle, following the legend that the people of Brindle built a wall in a field to try and keep the cuckoos in the village and perpetual summer!! The cuckoo walks are older than the cuckoo gin!
