From Ringwood to Oxford

During these days I had some days in the 50s and some down into the 20s! I covered 114 miles.

Fordinghambridge is upon the river Avon.

Traveling through Downton. Where is the abbey?

In Thuxton the train was in the station. Every couple of miles I get to a town. I am enjoying the sights.

Going through Andover in the county of Hampshire.

Black Bear Inn of Whitchurch.

Reading the website about the Black Bear Inn, shown above, reminded me of the tragedy of the Corona Virus on the economy.  The UK is under restrictions too.  The Inn ownership sadly reported that they were "closed until this gets sorted out and they can open properly."  Doing a virtual tour sounds best for now until things are normal.  I feel sorry for all the people who are out of work because of businesses being closed.

The center of Newbury in Berkshire used for the marketplace.

Donnington Castle near Newbury. Damaged during the second battle of the civil war in 1644.

Will it make a difference?

Abington on Thames. So many of these names I do not recognize, but the Thames I know from London.
