We woke to a Lovely sunny morning and after a lightbreakfast we took a long-delayed walk around Shaftesbury. We walked down Gold Hill, which was used in the famous Hovis advert with the baker's lad pushing a bike up it. It's steeper than you think and very picturesque.
We drove on to Amesbury and after a swift walk around we decided the town was not large enough to keep out interest. The only hotel we could see did not appeal and Amesbury seems to be a tea stop on the way to visit Stonehenge 3 miles away.
Marlborough was the next town on the road and a lovely market town it is too. We booked a room at the Sun Inn for £60 and had lunch there (sandwiches and chips). It was a lovely sunny day and there was a wedding at the Town Hall. Nie to see people eating outside again!
In the evening both had steak pie in a pub, simple fare but welcome after the fuss of last night.
