Somewhere close to Bath, in the little village of Box, you can find - if you really, really look for it - a world class music studio where lots and lots of great Rock and World Music albums have been recorded: Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. Although we knew perfectly well that we would not be allowed to visit the inside of this gem we at least wanted to take a gander at the actual place.
Afterwards we drove through Bradford-on-Avon where since medieval times you could cross river Avon and where we strolled around for a bit and had some sandwiches.

Wine that rocks?!
The travel guide had one more surprise for us up its sleeve: the ruins of Farleigh Hungerford Castle, a few miles southwest of Bath. This time the weather did us the favor and exactly gave us the blue and grey skies that you need for such scenery. We were left speechless by the amazing atmosphere of this place (and the lead caskets in the crypt).
Frank looks a bit like Phil Collins. A younger Phil, but still.
