I was lucky enough to be treated to a trip away in Wiltshire a couple of weeks ago for my Birthday.
I must show you what we got up to and the photographs of the 'Old Stables' at Crockerton House B&B where we stayed, it was amazing!

Lacock
We had been told about Lacock by a friend at
RawXclusive. Its always good to be recommended places by friends as you know it must be nice if they have been.
Lacock is a village in
Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (5 km) from the town of
Chippenham. The village is owned almost in its entirety by the
National Trust, and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance.

Crockerton House is a luxury B&B in Crockerton. We stayed in the newly developed self catering holiday cottage, which has been beautifully
converted. It is secluded in a lovely rural location with wonderful views
of the Wylye Valley
. The Old Stables are a perfect hideaway for
couples looking to leave behind the stress of their daily lives and
unwind in peaceful and luxurious surroundings.

We as always can never relax and wanted to do as much as possible. We were in a really good spot central to everywhere we wanted to go.
Below are a few shots of some of the places we stopped off at along the way.

I'll just rest on this railing a minute! |

Guy doesn't look very happy to be climbing this hill. |
Shaftsbury was a beautiful place to visit, its just a shame we got there early on a Sunday because all the small independants seemed closed. We will have to go again!
To be continued...
Looks like the perfect English village.

Hi Liz,
DeleteThanks for the comment.
Yeah it was a lovely village kind of ruined by charity shops. Such a shame really. Definately worth a visit tho, but take your walking boots to get up that famous hill!
