Or rather our Summer is coming to a close…
Sod’s Law, we left Tenby basking in blue skies but travelling East meant we were catching up with the wet weather. Our next stop was Marlborough, 3 & half hours away and a date with Rick Stein.
Late in the afternoon we had a pit stop at Laycock Abbey & Village. The Abbey is home to father of British photography, William Fox Talbot. The Abbey had an exhibition of astronomical photography competition winners. Amazing photographs and certainly not ‘point and click’ but hours/days/weeks and even months of complicated and technical photography.
The Abbey and Village are very picturesque and I have nicked a couple of photos as it is difficult to portray how pretty the Village is due to the parked cars. Both the Abbey and the Village are regular locations for film and TV productions and have appeared in Harry Potter & Fantastic Beast films and Downton Abbey and Cranford TV series.
Our campsite was located in the Savernake Forest but after another stop in Marlborough village, we didn’t have much time to appreciate the forest setting as we had a reservation at Rick Stein’s restaurant in Marlborough.
Our meal of seafood starters and Turbot and Hake main courses were delicious and a perfect way to end our Roundandabout Summer.
