Saturday 25 July - Finally some beautiful weather. We took advantage of it by going berry picking in the morning at Chosen Hill Farm in Chew magna where we got some strawberries and some red currants. After Lunch at the flat we drove to Castle Combe touted as the "loveliest village in England". It is a small fairly typical Cotswold village with lots of charming stone cottages complete with low wide doors and window boxes brimming with flowers. It also has the obligatory trout stream running merrily through the village. There is also a charming old wool market and butter cross at the town center. We walked around the town and the impressive Manor House Hotel with its amazing Italianate gardens. We also visited the church which boasts one of the oldest clocks in England. It was smaller than expected and in my humble, opinion not much prettier than many of the other villages we've visited but well worth a visit.
