Day trip to Stonehenge, Wardour Castle, and Fordingsbridge

Week-end 2 and a packed itinerary planned – Stonehenge, Wardour Castle and dinner with Aunty Jude & Uncle Peter at Fordingsbridge.

After a late start out the front door, Stonehenge was first on the agenda.  The weather was a bit grim at the start, but it brightened up brilliantly towards the end for some great shots of the henge. 

After parking the van, we stopped for a picnic snack out the boot of the car.

Next stop Wardour Castle.  This was the site of the filming of Robin Hood with Kevin Costner.  It is a beautifully romantic castle.

Romantic enough for a wedding which was underway.  Colin’s camera worked overtime today!IMG_0655 (1024x768) IMG_4748 (1024x683) IMG_0680 (768x1024) IMG_0686 (768x1024) IMG_0667 (1024x768)

After Wardour castle, we went down South to meet Judith & Peter for supper.  They found a great pub restaurant on the river “The George Inn”.  It was a great spot to kick back and enjoy a brew.
