The latter... it's one of the old clay pipes
But I must say a blazing beagle (in these anti-hunt times) would be
interesting, if a little non-PC
Interestingly, Malmesbury is notable in that the Land-Rovers are not driven by
Fulham Farmers and actually have real mud on them. It's a real country market
town
