Biddestone (Edge Of Raison)

The pun in this title will only mean something to you if you have seen the TV show Agatha Raison.  If not, this will just be a picturesque Coltswold village post.  After visiting Devizes, we drove on into the start of the Cotswolds.  This is truly lovely part of the UK and it looks like it was created by film set designers.  Needless to say, it is popular with TV and movies.  Agatha Raison is set in the area and is filmed in Lacock and Biddestone for a good portion of the show.

We had been to Lacock before but did drive through.  However, it was absolutely heaving with tourists and we decided to keep moving.  Biddestone was the exact opposite.  It was almost deserted.  This is the center of the village in which the TV show is filmed and the titular character’s house is alongside the green.  All of the villages in this area look very pretty and you can get quite blasé about it after a while.
