Brakes are handy devices. I didn’t realise how bad ours actually were until they were replaced this morning. After which, we headed for Avebury to see the henge there. It is a large circle of stones surrounding the original Avebury village. Not quite as impressive as Stonehenge to me, especially considering the highway runs through the circle nowadays.
From here, we headed to the Cotswolds. First stop, Stow-on-the-Wold. A quaint little village with elegant yellow limestone buildings. There are no actual attractions here, just many little shops to wander amidst. It is pleasing to see the new developments in the area are doing their best to maintain the aesthetics by continuing to build in the original style.
From here we headed to Moreton-in-Marsh to camp, then to Bourton -on-the-Water and Chipping Campden tomorrow. Tonight we dined
Stow-on-the-Wold
at Eagle & Child pub (another Michelin moment), the oldest (947AD) inn in England. They have a fine Cotswold Lager. For dinner, I had the confit duck leg (was a big duck) with garlic potatoes, green beans and apricots. All the size of a pub meal but with that extra gastro-pub flair and flavour.
mmmmm tasty gastro-pub food….
glad you guys are having such a grand time, sans mechanical and water problems!
Hi Jules & Leah,
It sounds like you are having an enjoyable time with lots of gastronomical (you like that adjective?) experiences! I am looking after everything for you back home! Might have to kick me out in June. Happy St Patricks Day in advance!
Love Lu xx oo
Good to see the Michelin guide is getting some use : )
