I'd stick to Kemble, and remember to admire the water tower!Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-13814354439359883972011-05-08T09:48:04.413+01:002011-05-08T09:48:04.413+01:00If we're travelling by train to and from the C...If we're travelling by train to and from the Cotswolds it's usually via Kemble or Charlbury. Kemble is probably even prettier than Charlbury. However, what now clinches it for the former is that there's a strip of road leading to Charlbury (just past Shipton-under-Wychwood, from the Burford direction), which has managed to bring on fully fledged car sickness every time we've used it recently, in my wife and both children. It's a chicane that runs up, down and around a dell in the downs. It's really extraordinary - I've never come across anything quite like it!Gareth Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058241057385364459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-44635357104406533272011-05-07T08:21:08.308+01:002011-05-07T08:21:08.308+01:00Peter: Yes, cunning isn't it?

As is the translation of this Italianate architecture - which we'd expect to be in stone (or maybe stucco) into wood.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-61343129710792093572011-05-06T08:52:28.874+01:002011-05-06T08:52:28.874+01:00I love this station.

And like other Brunel country stations, I think it's a master stroke to make the roof become the platform canopy.Peter Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027878122724846472noreply@blogger.com
