Baddesley Clinton and a return to Stratford upon Avon

Another brilliant day wandering the countryside. We headed to another National Trust House - "Baddesley Clinton" - a brilliant old house with priest hides, raunchy stories, murder mysteries and a backdrop for a Sherlock Holmes movie, a moat, gorgeous gardens, espalier flowering quince and ducks and squirrels abounding. Very enjoyable - history at its best.

We finished around 1 and thought we'd head to Stratford upon Avon for lunch. A return call to "Box Brownie" another great coffee and a walk by the river, more Tudor houses, gardens, trendy shops, churches and cafes.



White swans are all along the Stratford and chase you for food if you approach the river

Home via Sainsburys to shop for tea. Picked up petrol for $2.50 a litre ready for more adventures tomorrow.
