Day 13 - Amesbury - Stonehenge on May 16th, 2013

Since we had a 6:45 am appointment at Stonehenge for access within the stone circle, we were up at the crack of dawn. Our B&B proprietor Tricia made sure we were well fed before we left at 6:15. Our car windshield was covered in ice! 2C or about 34F. The fog was so thick we could barely see 10 ft ahead of our car. But as we drove, the fog began to lift. We were greeted by a beautiful sunrise at Stonehenge!

Day 12 - Nunney - Nunney Castle on Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Wrapped up the day with a visit to Nunney Castle. Nunney is a small but attractive castle built in the 1300's and heavily damaged in the English Civil Wat. We could walk around and inside the castle.  Most of the interior was gone. But it was still cool.

Day 10 - Boreham - End of a Long Day on Monday, May 13th, 2013

Loved staying at the Boreham Home Farm B&B in Warminster, Wiltshire. Here's a shot of it.  It was built in the 1830's.  We enjoyed a first floor room with it's own entrance. Loved it!

Lacock Abbey was founded in 1232 as a nunnery for nuns of the Augustinian order. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, it was sold to Sir Wiliam Sharrington who converted it to his living quarters. Later on. It was the home of William Henry Fox Talbot.

Day 10 - Avebury - Silbury Hill on Monday, May 13th, 2013

Avebury offers several interesting places go visit including a huge stone circle many prefer over Stomrhenge. Unfortunately, I forgot to take some pics with my iPhone. But, I did take a pic of Silbury Hill. is a prehistoric chalk mound. It was huge!  No, we didn't wall to the top of this one!
