I’ve been following Channel 4’s Village of the Year. There’s been some fantastic places so far, many of which I’ve followed up with the hashtags on instagram and added to my saved folder for villages; future travels….plenty of places, not enough time.
Watching the programme has reminded me of some of the stunning villages I’ve visited in the last 10 years.
When I launched Project 101 proper, I discovered that many of the villages I’ve visited in the past are Domesday Book villages which has been really exciting.
Of the many many places I’ve been, these are some of my favourite villages:
Blackford, Somerset
Blackford – Domesday Book village
Braeburn, Kent
Camelot, Somerset
Seriously amazing views from this spot….well worth the climb. Not sure how accurate the tales of this being the location of Camelot, but it’s fabulous if it was.
Castle Cary, Somerset
Castle Cary – Domesday Book village
Cawsands/Kingsands, Cornwall
Charlton Hawthorne, Somerset
Chippenham, Somerset
Chippenham – Domesday Book village
Compton Paucefoot, Somerset
Corton Denham, Somerset
Cottenham, Cambridgeshire
Cottenham – Domesday Book village
These are just 10 of my favourite villages…..more to follow shortly. Unfortunately I’m unable to review many of the other places I’ve been since the hard-drive that UPS lost is still….lost!!! Grrr.
Perhaps I should suggest they fund the costs of returning to those places….dream on LOL
