Back from Wiltshire



Some snaps from a week in Wiltshire. It rained most of the time, so there wasn't much opportunity to get out and take photos. We were staying in a cottage on the edge of the Stourhead Estate, which includes an excellent Spread Eagle Inn with great local ales. The Estate itself is an incredible piece of 18th century landscape design, and much of it can be accessed by public footpaths.

We were also in walking distance of some stunning rolling downland scenery, and I enjoyed walking up Whitesheet Hill, which is topped by a multitude of hill forts and burial mounds.









We enjoyed visiting Frome, which felt like a very creative town with loads of vintage clothing stores, the Garden Café veggie restaurant and excellent Black Swan Arts centre.
