Stitchcombe

Stitchcombe lies in the Kennet valley, just a little way east of Marlborough, reached from Chopping Knife Lane, and that valley has a quality unlike anywhere else I know. I have often driven through it because it forms part of my route to the M4 and London, but I have rarely had time to stop there. After a shop in Marlborough I began to put that right by driving on to there. This was taken from a road that joins Chopping Knife Lane as it winds downhill from the edge of Savernake Forest.

I parked Archie at several points along the river in Stitchcombe and Axford, and saw swans, geese, moorhens, geese and goslings. There were sheep with young lambs at Coombe Farm and on the way back to the car I saw a red kite circling overhead.
