Curbridge or Curdridge?

Today was the calm after the storm, with Storm Goretti hitting the south coast of England yesterday, and us getting the edge of the rain and wind, so the day began overcast and with a drizzle of rain.

We visited various villages in the morning, beginning in Swanmore, morning tea in the Reading Rooms in Curdridge (not to be confused with the village of Curbridge 3km away).

The afternoon was a nature walk in Durley, then a visit to Curbridge, and finishing the day in Wickham. Apart from a large market square, Wickham also has a Dip Hole - a set of steps built in 1820 to allow the villagers to collect water from the river before Wickham had piped water

We returned after dark to Soberton, with dinner again at the White Lion.Read more
