Castle Combe

Castle Combe was heralded as the “prettiest village in England,” so of course I wanted to stop and take a look.

With its central grid of four streets, Lacock today looks much as it did 200 years ago.

Our stop in Avebury included more of England’s “biggest,” “oldest,” and “only” sites for tourists to visit.

We left our friends and New Forest, and were soon at the most famous ancient site in the UK.

A second evening spent with Derrick and Jackie was even better than the first one.

Beaulieu Motor Museum tickets also admitted us to the gardens, the Palace House, the Abbey, the Domus, and the BBC World Gardeners’ Spring Fair.

We spent the day exploring New Forest, in two important locations.

After honoring the document that inspired democracies around the world, Margaret and I got to meet Derrick and Jackie.

On our first day, we learned about the Ostrich Inn, and visited Windsor Castle.

The trails in this park are vast, and welcoming to people on foot, and people on wheels.
