The village of Cold Ashby occupies a healthy situation on a tract of elevated ground stretching along the North Western verges of the County ( Northants).

(Wright’s Directory 1874)

rambler : a person who rambles or goes rambling.

ramble : a walk (formerly any journey) without definite route or other aim but pleasure.

(O.E.D.)

And here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy !

Tom Paxton

To walk is by a thought to go;

To move in spirit to and fro;

To mind the good we see;

To taste the sweet;

Observing all the things we meet

How choice and rich they be.

Thomas Traherne
