Corsham, Castle Coombe and Lacock

Avisit to some friends (Pete and Joan), who live just outside of Bath, in Corsham, was the highlight of the weekend of the 18/19 feb. Our tour guide (Pete), showed us around a couple of villages, many of which have been used as settings for films like 'Harry Potter', and 'Pride and Prejudice'. The most quant and picturesque, was Castle Coombe, which has been rated many times as being the most beautiful village in England. We walked through the village, and then on a 3 mile loop through the surrounding countryside, which conveniantly took us into a fantastic little pub (where the local 5X ale went down a treat). Jacks and I were enjoying ourselves so much that our planned afternoon exit, fell by the wayside, and we found ourselves in the local pub in Box, called 'The Quarryman's'. After a fantastic evening, and a great meal, we made our way back towards London, with Jacks driving, and me nodding off every 10 seconds.
