Walk With Me Wednesday

It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a walk together, hasn’t it? I’m really excited to tell you about a new place that Dale and I walked the other day. We owe it all to Martha, too. First, because she told us about it and second, because when we got lost trying to find it she answered her cell phone and gave us directions. Thanks, Martha!

The place is called World’s End and it’s owned by the Trustees of Reservations. It’s about 40 minutes from home for us and well worth the trip.

Since this was our first visit and we wanted to get a real feel for the place we hiked the largest loop around the property. It’s about 4.5 miles of trail and we enjoyed every bit of scenery.

The trails are easy to walk and many of them are nice and shady – great on a warm day!


you can make this one bigger if you want to

The salt marshes provided views of wildlife.


this one gets bigger, too

And the openings between the trees provided views of city life. That’s the skyline of Boston, in case you didn’t know.

We really enjoyed our trek to Worlds End. The birds provided a wonderful score as we walked and Dale and I talked and talked and really caught up on things during this time together. I was tired when we finished but it was a great feeling. And boy did I sleep good that night!

  3. It’s sure is nice to have escape spots so close to home. Looks like a really nice place to stop and have some R&R without having to spend a week’s vacation doing it! It’s always a good thing to have “you & him” time.

  4. Oh wow – it looks beautiful and Hingham is pretty close to us! Thanks for sharing this with us. It sounds like a great place to visit. 🙂

  29. looks delightful! i enjoy hikes in the woods, but i don’t seem to go often enough. and there’s always a fun disconnect of being secluded in nature but occasionally wandering within view of urban areas.
