Another wonderful feature of Bubbenhall is its location! Within 30 minutes drive are the large towns of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Coventry, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth and Rugby. If I had been here longer, I would also have been able to go further afield. Within 1 hour’s driving are The Cotswolds, Oxford and Birmingham! Sadly, I can’t get everywhere! Of course , scattered everywhere are wonderful little villages like Bubbenhall! I had to explore a few of these, but drove through many , many more! There are lots of great, quite wide roads between these villages and towns and hardly any tiny, windy, hedge lined little roads of my last house sit, so driving to places is a little more efficient. But still picturesque ! I had thought that I would be travelling these roads on buses, but thanks to the kindness of one of the house-sit people, I have had the use of a Toyota Rav4, which has meant a lot more flexibility! It means I could access some national trust stately homes that would have been difficult to visit by bus.
A blog is coming soon(maybe on the train back to London tomorrow?) about some of these homes and castles, as is one about Stratford, but I’ll just share a couple of photos from visits to these towns.
