Bath Day 3 Putney Bridge and Cotswolds

After a walk over the Putney bridge (which has cafes on it) we got ready for our tour outside the city. Jan got almost bombed by a seagull and we were to hear how they have become a protected nuisance in the city. Daniel from Insider Tours picked us up at the hotel and we visited Laycock where photography was invented. The Church pictured dates from the 1200s. Queen Camilla’s estate is nearby and she sat in the pew shown when her daughter Laura married here in 2006 with the now King Charles with William and Harry in attendance too. We then took a trip through the countryside to Castle Combe a mill town "frozen in time". Many of these towns are owned by the National Trust and the homes are rented out. The homes typically have stone and slate roofs, and Daniel pointed out spots which had been used as film sets for Doctor Dolittle, Harry Potter and Downtown Abbey.Læs mere
