BATTLE OF BRITAIN BELL
From Edington it is a grand switch-back road to West Lavington where one can turn right on to the Devizes-Salisbury road, to find, at the bottom of the hill, the Bridge, which is a pub in the true pub tradition, friendly, and homely – and when the landlord regrettably has to call “Time” – he rings it out on a bell that comes from the Battle of Britain fighter station at Biggin Hill!
