I don't believe I've blogged this yet. On Monday we drove east, to go to Laycock and then find a White Horse. Laycock was dead, it being a Monday morning, but we walked all around it, tried on cloth caps in a friendly shop and I bought a toy hedgehog. It has a string you pull and it buzzes along for 3 seconds. But it's very cute. Laycock has lots of tiny cottages, some of them amazingly crooked. The whole village is run by the National Trust so that it stays heritage and can be used as sets for BBC period dramas and Harry Potter movies. It was Meryton, Mr Darcy was there, hence it was a part of this Jane Austen Adventure Tour.
The nearby Abby has a photography museum, because Henry Fox Talbot lived there and invented the negative film process. Wow! And there was an orchard.
Then we drove further afield, to find a White Horse. Just because I am randomly fascinated by them. And we found this one, and took the opportunity to walk around, but it was horrid weather so we didn't walk all the way to it.
And then we drove down to the south coast holiday town of Lyme Regis, for our next 2-night stay.
