Set off from Bowood and headed towards Laycock, where they filmed Downton, Harry Potter and others. Lovely village, mainly owned by the National Trust. Stu thought it had been built as a film set -Leggi altro

So, made my way up the hill to the long barrow. What an amazing place! To think, it's been there over 5,500 years ( well before I was born!). Its been excavated, and opened so that we can look inside.Leggi altro
