The #CountryCreatures Weekend Guide 🌿
This week, we`re heading to the timeless village of Lacock. With its honey-stone cottages, charming streets, independent bakery and centuries of history, it`s one of the Cotswolds` most enchanting places to spend a summer`s day.
Start with coffee and something sweet from the bakery, wander the flower-lined lanes, browse the independent shops, then take your time exploring the beautiful grounds of Lacock Abbey. Every corner feels like stepping into a storybook (it`s no wonder so many films and TV series have been shot here).
Whether you`re visiting for a leisurely stroll, a relaxed lunch or simply to soak up the atmosphere, Lacock is a village that`s best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. ☀️🌿

With temperatures set to soar this week, there’s no better time to escape to Castle Combe. Often called one of England’s prettiest villages, Castle Combe is the perfect summer destination. Think honey-coloured cottages, flower-filled gardens, gentle riverside walks and picturesque streets that look untouched by time.
Take a stroll along the Bybrook River, enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village pubs, or simply wander with an ice cream in hand and soak up the atmosphere ☀️
