COLUMN Walkies #5 Rodmell & Breaky Bottom It’s mid-June and the colour palette in the countryside around Rodmell has been turned up to maximum volume. There’s barely a cloud in an electric blue sky, the trees and the grass have turned Robin Hood green in their midsummer glory, and the hedgerows are popping with elderflowers. When a light breeze blows over the Downs, the wheat fields look like rippling silk. There’s also a hint of romance in the air. Todd, the handsome Bordoodle belonging to friends, who my wife, Sarah, and I often take for a walk, has been joined by Daisy and Ruby, two high-energy spaniels belonging to yet more dog-owning friends. As we head off up the hill towards the Downs along the small road opposite the Abergavenny pub, Cordelia, Sarah’s niece, is in danger of having her arm pulled out of its socket by two year-old Ruby, the youngest of our canine escorts. Todd, meanwhile, has decided to play the mature elder statesman. When we reach the top and meet the South Downs Way, we plunge into the brave new world that opens up in front of us. We are soon snugly ensconced in one of the many folds of the Downs which remain largely deserted even in the height of summer. “Bottoms!?” giggles Cordelia mischievously, when I tell her the technical term for this hidden topography. Our route takes us up onto Highdole Hill and back down again along the edge of the six acres of vineyards cultivated so successfully by Peter Hall since 1974. It was back then that he had his Eureka! moment and realised how similar the soil and climate here are to the Champagne and Loire valley regions in France. After producing a series of elegant white wines, he has now turned exclusively to méthode champenoise, high quality sparkling bruts, which have become the stuff of local legend. By now we are making the final push up Mill Hill from the south on the way back to Rodmell. To listen to Cordelia, you would have thought it was the North Face of the Eiger. But then, she is only six and I’m not sure I’d made it out of the back garden at that age. “Do you know the name of the vineyard we’ve just passed?” I say jauntily, trying to take her mind off the pain. “It’s called Breaky Bottom.” Cordelia puts her hands on her hips and looks at me sternly. “More like Never-Ending Stinky Bottom,” she huffs grumpily. “I suppose it could catch on,” I nod sagely. Richard Madden Map: OS Explorer: OL25. Distance: 3 miles. Terrain: They call them Downs, but they’re mostly Ups. Directions: Take the road opposite the pub to the top of Mill Hill, down into the valley and up Highdole Hill. Turn right where the next footpath meets and then right again, down around Breaky Bottom vineyard and back to the top of Mill Hill. Head back down to the pub. Start/End/watering hole: Abergavenny Arms. 91
