Avebury is one of the world’s largest prehistoric stone circles and we visited it in July in conjunction with visits to Stonehenge and Avebury Manor.

Wollaton Hall Wildlife 2016
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
The deer at Wollaton Hall are currently rutting so I thought that would be a good opportunity to take some photographs (being mindful not to get too close, of course!) Below are some of the photos I captured of the stags, plus geese and swans around the lake.

Stonehenge 2016
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
I don’t really think that Stonehenge requires much of an introduction and I have written about my first visit to the site here. This time I made the return because my brother had never been and wanted to go and we happened to be holidaying fairly nearby.

Nottingham Architecture Special: Watson Fothergill Contd.
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
As a follow-up to my earlier post on the work of Watson Fothergill, Nottingham architect, here are some more of his beautiful buildings. The first is the Rose of England pub, built in 1899. I’ve often admired the Gothic look of it and it’s immediately recognisable as Fothergill’s work.
The Rack Isle, Bibury

he Rack Isle is directly opposite Arlington Row, which I previously wrote about here. It’s a low-lying meadow which gets its name from the racks where wool would have been hung to dry after being washed at Arlington Row.

Arlington Row, Bibury
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
Arlington Row in Bibury is apparently one of the most photographed streets in the Cotswolds. The Row is a set of cottages looked after by the National Trust that were built in 1380 as a wool store and then converted into weaver’s cottages in the 17th century.
