Thank you SO MUCH again for the wonderful stay, Chonette - it truly is the most homely, vibrant and comfortable airbnb we have ever stayed & we absolutely loved Chippenham 🥰

Great videos guys! For a lot of cities (especially Oxford) it may be worth using the Park and Ride buses to save you on parking fees. Basically they are large car parks a mile or so out the city centre with a regular cheap or even free shuttle bus to take you in and out of the centre. 👍🏻

Its in Chippenham, just off the main street. Parking wasnt included but there was a carpark directly behind the airbnb for free for 2hrs inside 9am and 5pm. We had no problem parking as we parked after 5pm and left before 9am ☺️

National speed limit is 70mph, so motorways and deregulated roads (white circle with black border and with diagonal black line through it) on dual carriageway, and 60mph on single carriageway, unless otherwise posted... A lot of the minor roads you'll find are deregulated 60mph...

Ooohh I have to try this - sounds great! They have so many different flavour varieties, I was surprised. Very nice chocolate indeed 👌🏽

Driving wise we use Miles per hour. The motorway is officially 70 but a lot of people push that as most police won’t stop you unless your over 10% over the speed limit. But a lot of motorways are now having smart camera’s installed which will get you! So stick to 70 mph on motorways. Otherwise just look for the road signs. And it’s all in Miles per hour. Lovely following you. So glad your getting to see more than just London! You’ve certainly got some good spots!

Thanks so much for this information! In Australia we have speed signs everywhere along the motorways )indicating how fast to go) so we were quite confused driving in the UK and just sat on a comfortable speed relative to the other cars.

@@KristyandSteve No problem, loving the video’s. Occasionally you may get amended speeds on motorways, if there is traffic ahead or debris in the road and then you’ll see the amended speed limit displayed on the gantry’s that go over the motorway. You need to stick to these so watch out for them when motorway driving. Best wishes for the rest of your travels. From Warwickshire. 😃
