Aldbourne Village Walk, English Countryside 4K

Beschreibung:

No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside, Aldbourne is a picturesque village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. It sits within the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), about 6 miles northeast of Marlborough and 10 miles southwest of Hungerford. The village is nestled in a scenic valley, surrounded by rolling hills, woodlands, and farmland, typical of the Wiltshire landscape. Aldbourne has a rich history that stretches back to the Anglo‑Saxon period. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as “Aldeburne.” The village played a role during the English Civil War, with Royalist troops camped here before the Battle of Newbury in 1643. Aldbourne is also historically significant for its connection to World War II, as it was home to the US 101st Airborne Division before their involvement in the D‑Day landings. A beautiful walk! Do enjoy :)
