Checked out this morning and drove to Brecon. On the day boat for 3 hours of zig zagging along the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal but piked out on the lock so instead moored the boat and walked to watch people operate it and the walked across the aqueduct. Stunning scenery along the canal and a peaceful ride at a very slow pace. Would love to come back and hire a long canal boat to stay on for a few days.
Excellent lunch at a cafe next to the canal then parted ways with Deirdre as she headed back to Amport and we went onto Bampton in Oxfordshire in the Cotswolds.
Bampton is a major filming sight for Downtown Abbey outdoor scenes and buildings but they are not here at present - just 6 weeks ago they filmed Matthew's funeral here for the new series.
We arrived about 5.30pm and checked in to a fantastic spacious, comfortable and light cottage on the owners property in the middle of Bampton.
Pub meal at a local, a bit of shopping, watch Wimbledon then off to bed fairly early
