Carbury was a small English village located near Lake Vortigern. It was located within helicopter range of London.
The Carbury Historical Trust, under the direction of archaeologist Peter Warmsly, maintained an extensive archaeological dig near the lake: an 8th century battlefield, believed by Warmsly to have involved King Arthur.
Brother and sister inkeepers Pat and Elizabeth Rowlinson maintained a small hotel, the Gore Crow Hotel, with a pub frequented by Carbury locals, including Warmsly. The Doctor and Ace stayed at the Gore Crow when they visited Carbury at some point between 1989 and 2009. (DW:Battlefield)
