I took Wednesday off and drove down to Hingham with a friend so we could visit Weir River Farm and go for a hike. Like all of the Trustees properties I have been to so far, it makes for a pleasant, not too strenuous outing, with nice trails and good views from the hilltop. A rail trail passes through the property via a wetland. Between this and the adjoining property you can get quite a full day’s rambling in.
Weir River Farm, 30 March 2022
It was chilly in the morning, but the day warmed up as it went on. There isn’t much green in the woods yet, just patches here and there. We saw a couple of bluebirds, and an egret in the marsh as we were driving home. Stopped in town on our way back (Hingham is aggressively quaint) and discovered a cheese shop so obviously had to go in there. As days off go, that one will be difficult to beat!
