点评:We were dropped off by a bus at Castle Combe , a picturesque village, from Chippenham at around 1 PM. The driver said he would be back only at 5 PM to pick us up. We had a leisurely lunch at castle inn then had ample time to just enjoy the flavour of this beautiful little place. The manor house had some events so entry was restricted and hence it was just us tourists ambling around one of the most beautiful of the villages of the UK .
A relaxed day after our trip to lacock ( another lovely village and the abbey is the place behind Harry Potter fame!) Portions of Downtown Abbey and Pride and prejudice are supposed to have been shot there .
It was a beautiful and bucolic of the UK villages. Straight out of Enid Blyton's!
A tip worth remembering. Just keep some loose cash ready if you want to indulge in some mouth watering ice-cream sold by Ann and help yourself to some lovely cakes made by her neighbour.
Anyone wanting to visit both Lacock and Castle combe by bus, get yourself the Wiltshire day pass. It works out much cheaper.
翻译:下午一点左右,我们从奇彭纳姆 (Chippenham) 乘巴士来到风景如画的卡斯尔库姆 (Castle Combe) 村。司机说他要到下午五点才会回来接我们。我们在城堡旅馆 (Castle Inn) 悠闲地享用了午餐,然后有充足的时间细细品味这个美丽小镇的风情。庄园里正在举办一些活动,所以限制了入场人数,因此只有我们这些游客在英国最美丽的村庄之一漫步。
在游览了拉科克 (Lacock) 之后,我们度过了轻松的一天(拉科克也是一个美丽的村庄,那里的修道院正是哈利·波特的拍摄地!)。据说《唐顿庄园》和《傲慢与偏见》的部分场景都在那里拍摄过。
这是一个美丽而宁静的英国乡村,就像是从伊妮德·布莱顿 (Enid Blyton) 的小说里走出来的一样!
温馨提示:如果您想品尝安 (Ann) 出售的美味冰淇淋,或者想尝尝她邻居做的美味蛋糕,记得准备一些零钱。
想乘巴士游览拉科克和卡斯尔科姆的游客,建议购买威尔特郡一日通票,这样更划算。
