Does anyone remember the late nineties sitcom Sabrina The Teenage Witch? Watched a few on Hulu on a whim with the wifey and, maybe it's just me getting older, but the aunts were both pretty hot!

Beautiful Places. I particularly was taken by Nether Wallop (0:49) which I would love to explore with @Eulalia someday. Then maybe a bedding at the quaint Inn in Lacock (2:00)
