That's what I thought went I was putting the video together. I thought: "Bloody Hell! This is a rather quaint town!" ;o))

It's a mediaeval town, the centre of town (mainly the streets on the video and the Market Square) is about 1,000 years old, but probably a little bit older.

King Charles I stayed in the town when he mustered his forces in the Square and basically declared the English Civil War open for business.

PS Lots of real ale pubs, but not so hot on the choice of wines, though some nice Californian wines are available.

It DOES look that way, doesn't it? ;o))

Super romantic. We've been to England at this time of year.

It also looks like a scene straight out of the first Bridget Jones movie.

Glad you like it.

I did not realise how 'cute' the town is until I saw the video when I was editing it. But I have lived there most of my life,

Sweet. I very much want to go there, now.

the sweet, dulcet tones of the highland bagpipes in there?

I wanted a Chirstmas tune that was free to use, I found the Celtic tune that I fell in love with.

Though every Summer Morris Dancers perform in the Market Square. Which is nice. And rock bands, which is also nice.
