A stroll around a traditional English village 英式傳統小村莊散步 Castle Combe

Continuing with my visit to the picturesque village of Castle Combe, today I will take you on short stroll through this charming village. If you missed my previous post, you can read it here.
繼續我在 Castle Combe 一日遊。今天會在村莊裡散步。如果你錯過了我之前的帖子，可以在這裡閱讀。



Lets start our stroll at the Castle Inn, next to the market cross. There are three pubs in this little square so I think maybe it does get quite busy in the summer. Normally I would have dropped by for a drink as I love these quaint little village pubs, but as I've already said, we're going for afternoon tea later on, so we'll skip the drink today.
散步的起點在市集十字架旁的酒吧。小小的村莊眼看已有三家酒吧，我看夏天應該會很熱鬧。這些小村莊酒吧一般來說都很有特色，我平常必會到裡面坐坐，喝一杯。但今天要去下午茶，只好留待下次。



A little further on is the butter cross right in the middle of the road, we'll walk down this road towards the Bybrook River.
過一點就是路中央的奶油十字架，從這裡往前走就是Bybrook River。



Here's Eileen Cottage, seems like Eileen is a baker. She runs an honesty store selling her home baked cakes. The cakes looks delicious and I was very tempted to buy some.
這家是愛蓮小屋，看來愛蓮愛烤甜點。她在門前開了一家誠實商店，甜點很吸引，螞蟻的我幾乎又想買哩。



Each of the house along the road have their own little quirky character. This one has a beautifully engraved gutter running alongside the front of the house.
街上每家小屋都各有特色。這家屋前的排水渠有精緻的圖案雕刻。



This house is called the Reading Room Cottage. The owner must be a book lover.
這家房子名叫"閱讀房間小屋"，我想屋主應該是愛書之人。



I love the unicorn above the wooden front door here.
我很喜愛木門上這隻獨角獸。



And this post office is still in use today. Like many of the older post offices, the traditional red letter box is built into the house.
這家郵局現在還在運作。像其他英國不少舊郵局一樣，傳統的紅色郵箱建構成房子的一部分。



It was really pleasant strolling down this lovely road. When this old vintage car drove past I felt as I had gone back to the old days.
在這條小街上散步十分寫意，尤其當這輛古典車經過身邊，覺得自己好像回到了古代。



The end of the road meets with the Bybrook River, and there's another row of houses facing the Manor House Hotel across the road where we will go for afternoon tea.
這條街的另一端是 Bybrook River，河邊有一排小屋面對 Manor House Hotel。噢，這就是我去英式下午茶的地點。

In my first post, I did promise afternoon tea today, but there is so much to show you in this little village that I've written a bit more than expected. Afternoon tea (post) is ready and will come tomorrow. Scouts honour.
我在之前的帖子說今天散步後會帶大家去下午茶，但原來單一個小村莊已可以寫一篇文章，所以下午茶要等到明天。帖子已寫好了，明天再見!
